University

Hi, i am currently applying for university but i am struggling to work out how to add my qualification(s) in pending. For a bit of backstory, i started college in the September of 2023 but my course was dropped due to funding, i left and began an apprenticeship in early years. After a few months i realised this was not what i wanted to do for a living and decided i would complete this apprenticeship and apply for university to do acting. But now i am stuck because i don't know how to add the qualification to my application. I didn't go through a school/college and i don't know what the technical name for the qualification is as all i have been told is that it is an Early years educator level 3- but when i search that up it is not a valid qualification. Could someone help me who has been through this or something? i am worried i won't get into uni because its not a relevant subject and i can't list a qualification.

The fact that you don't know the name of the qualification you have is a problem. Have you tried contacting the employer at which you were an apprentice? Is there no official document, even in email form, which mentions the name of the qualification? Or at least the awarding body?

If the university you ultimately join asks for evidence of your qualification, what would you provide? Do you not have a certificate or similar?

Could the qualification be this one?
