It depends what you want to do, but the majority of employers and universities will ask for 3 BTECS, what ones are you doing?

I am doing BTEC (Medical) applied science and it is equivalent to 3 A'levels. It depends on the BTEC but universities are asking for BTEC that is equivalent to 3 A'levels.

It depends on which btechs you are doing. Some are worth three a levels and some are worth one. If you want to go to uni just make sure you get three grades at the end of the course and research unis to look at their requirements.

There are different levels and types of award at each level at BTEC. The Level 3 Extended Diploma is worth 3 A Levels. If you search on the UCAS site or online you will find what the different grades are equivalent to A level grades.
