Qualifications are studied at different stages or 'Levels', starting at Entry or Foundation Level and going all the way up to Level 8 – the highest qualification a person can get.
So what grades do you need to study at each level? Well, the following should help:
Entry Level and Level 1 – which includes Foundation Learning, GNVQs & Functional Skills qualifications: You don't need GCSEs, although you're encouraged to always try to get the best grades possible. These courses usually last for one year, full-time, and can be studied alongside a GCSE.
Level 2 – which includes GCSEs, BTEC Level 2 Diplomas, NVQs & CACHE Level 2 Diplomas: You'll usually need two to four GCSEs, Grade D or above and these qualifications tend to last for one year of full-time study.
Level 3 – which includes BTEC Level 3 Diplomas, BTEC Extended Diplomas, NVQs & CACHE Level 3 Diplomas: A course at this level normally requires four to five GCSEs Grade C or above and will usually require both mathematics and English. These courses usually last for two years of full-time study and include apprenticeship options, which are a fantastic way of earning cash while you gain a qualification.
So whatever your aspirations and wherever you happen to be in developing your career, there's an option to help you take that vital next step.
