I have qualifications that cant be found in the UCAS dropdown menu. Where do they go?

I have a Level 2 Certificate from the college I attended. That's all the certificate says, Level 2. There is no option for that when asked to select your qualification.

I'm also currently taking a Level 3 ICQ Diploma In Adult Care with a training provider. I haven't completed it yet, so I'm unsure what to put for my 'results'.

Usually I would figure these things out on my own, but I'm worried about making the tiniest mistake. Thank you in advance.

Edit: after doing some research, my L2 certificate is "Gateway Qualifications Level 2 Certificate In Progression". I did select 'other'. I assume Gateway Qualifications would be the awarding body, but there is a character limit and that doesn't fit. What now?

What do you mean, that's all that it says? Level 2 certificate of what?

Sorry for the delay. My certificate didn't say what exactly it was. I did some digging, and I've learned it was Gateway Qualifications Level 2 Certificate In Progression. However, now I don't know what to say for the awarding organisation.

Is their not a extra section to add it in? Do u hv a certficate from the course it will see the awarding body on that? Or if you google it
If there’s nothing matching then there should be an Other option

Put “Gateway”. Universities will ask for a scan of your certificate and transcript if they need more details
