Do you have gcse in English and maths at grade c or above? As you will need these - and if not will need to do the gcse at a local college or functional skills level 2 course I understand. Functional skills can be done at college or remotely with providers like learn direct and lead assessment (I think it is called?). I am in a similar position to you!

Lots of local colleges seem to offer free GCSEs in maths and English and/or functional skills - takes 9 months or so, usually from September I have seen. Often as evening courses too for adults looking to upskill. Have a look locally, or if you need it quicker/more flexibility check for online providers - but do check the university you want to go to accepts the qualification/examining bodies qualification.
