Ada, National College for Digital Skills application

I recently attended an open day for this college and I loved everything about it - the (relatively) small classes, the building and the area, regardless of it being an hour and thirty from me, but what I'm worried about is it's courses.
Ada offers BTEC Computing with Maths and Further maths, while there is a sixth form I applied to that offers A-Level Computing.
I intend to do a Degree Apprenticeship afterwards, so I'm worried if getting if getting a BTEC and not A-Level, would be okay on my application, or I should stick to all A-Levels???
