Has your first year resulted in any actual qualifications? (For example, have you gained one or more Extended Certificates, even though the full two-year course would have earned you an Extended Diploma?)

If you have no level 3 qualifications (BTECs, A levels, an access course, etc.) then you won't meet the requirements of any university, even for their foundation courses. :frown:

If you left after the first year you surely don't have a Btec L3?, you just have some modules with no group award?

I'd far prefer to do the BTEC since it counts a s a decent qualification on it's own but a foundation year has v limited use.
