How many hours a week is a Level 3 Extended diploma?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently studying for my GCSE's and I've been looking at different college courses to take once I have finished them. I like the look of the Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT. I was just wondering whether anyone knows how many days a week I would have to be in college to take this course?

Normally it would be three days a week, however this varies massively with different colleges and courses. It would be less time in school than secondary though but does have the coursework factor in it too.

How many extra course work hours roughly? And would I be able to take an A-level alongside?

yeah you can take an a-level alongside it but it is quite hard work, but its good for gaining ucas points so i’d say go for it.
