Helpppp ucas!!1

I am really struggling to fill in my UCAS application as my teachers/tutors are not helping me whatsoever. Im stuck on the education bit. Ive added my GCSES but i need to add the BTECS which i am studying. I am studying Applied Science and Engineering (both with Pearson) and Cambridge technical ICT with OCR. I really want to send it off to UCAS.

Im studying the national extended certificate level 3. but when i add it in sys you need to go back and click on 'QCF'. I am studying BTEC national form 2016 to present so i have chosen that rather than QCF. Can anyone help me please??????

So you want to know how to add it? Are you in college/sixth form for the past two years or have you been there longer

ive been at the same school for 7 years. 5 year from 7-11 and im at the same school for sixth form
I'm not sure if this will work, but click on add and then search you qualifications. So Search BTEC

Yeah that's right. So then you just click on that and add the subject, exam board, etc

Choose QFC or btec(QFC) then it will ask the board and subject and fill them in

so im not choosing 'Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Cert (360) (First teaching Sept 2016)' ????

If you’re studying that then choose that if not it’s most likely the other option

You’ll need to do one for engineering then repeat and do a separate one for science
