Will they accept functional skills level 2 quals instead of GCSEs? functional skill level 2 courses are an equivalent to GCSES and are easily accessible at most colleges.
They're also sometimes free.

I'm currently doing functional skills level 2 maths which is accepted at the uni I'm interested in and had the exam not have been cancelled due to covid I would be currently waiting for my exam results, they're 12 week courses.

hope that helps :smile:
