Can I do an optometry degree with only a level 3 optical assistant qualification?
I'm thinking of applying to level 3 optical assistant apprenticeships (as an alternative to sixth form) but I've been seeing mixed or vague answers on whether that would be able to lead to me to a university degree with some saying that unis care more about grades, does anyone know? Some universities say that it depends on the apprenticeship but if so then does anyone know what specifically they would looking for in an apprenticeship?
