Hello,
This is a really dumb question first of all so apologies lol. I am applying for a job that states “You need a minimum of 5 GCSEs or equivalent at Grade C or above, including maths, science and English”, does this mean I need 5 GCSEs or equivalent as well as having GCSE or equivalent in maths, science and English (so 8 GCSEs or equivalent overall), or does it mean that 3 of the 5 GCSEs or equivalent need to be maths, science and English and then 2 other GCSEs in any other subjects?
Also, In regards to the qualifications needed. I left school with terrible grades. I have a GCSE grade C in English.
I have a level 2 functional skills in Maths and a BTEC level 2 first award in application of science which I got the grade M2 (Level 2 merit). Finally, I did Pearson BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Public Services in which I got a Pass. Do these count towards the 5 GCSEs or equivalent the job in requiring?
