Which course are you doing? Is it cache or nvq? I think that NVQ level 3 is equivalent to an A-level!

Hi- yes i'm doing a NVQ. Do you know how many a-levels it is equal to?

the level 3 CACHE is equivalent to four, however i would presume 2-3 for the nvq, just look at the points from the course im comparison to Alevels

After a bit of research, I have come to the conclusion, that obviously it isn't equivalent to any A Levels, its a different qualification. When they use equivilency they are talking about UCAS points. However, according to UCAS NVQs are not actually worth any UCAS points so it would be up to a university to consider your application based on your qualifications and other experienc etc.
I have a cache level 3 teaching assistant grade A, but I can’t find it on the ucas points? Is it worth anything? 🥺
