Sixform changing

Is it possible to switch different sixforms for a different course ( alevel to a btec ) this late ?

Anything is possible, it may just be difficult to find a college / 6th form centre that would allow you to switch.
I suppose the real question is: Why don't you want to do A-Levels? & do you like / dislike your current 6th form place of study?

In my opinion, you have x4 options:

1/ Continue the A-Levels at the current 6th form, get the grades you want or are aiming for, enjoy life
2/ Research what other 6th form centres allow students to join in January, then send some emails out this week to enquire about visiting. Look up what courses they offer & the requirements to see if you can transfer your current curriculum to theirs.
3/ Leave your current 6th form, but have a plan for jobs / something to do in the January - September window before re-applying to BTEC 6th form to restart the study year.
4/ Quit altogether, don't go 6th form for A-Levels or BTEC, jump straight into work, or travel abroad.
