Most people pick 3 subjects but others may only do 2, if they have to resit their Maths or English GCSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each college sets its own entry requirements but generally they are looking for a minimum of five \u201cgood\u201d GCSE passes, usually at grade 4\/C or above. In addition some subjects might have their own requirement eg. a college may ask for a minimum of grade 7 in Maths for you to take A level Maths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.p_on_vt71BB5Jm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/wyvernacademy.org\/wyverncareers\/post-16-qualifications-and-routes#h.p_on_vt71BB5Jm\"><\/a>VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose a vocational qualification you study a variety of topics within one area of work such as engineering, catering or childcare. Vocational qualifications are usually more hands on than A levels, with a mix of both practical and theory. They are usually assessed through a mixture of coursework and assessments\/exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are vocational qualifications at different levels, with level 3 being equivalent to A levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tlevels.gov.uk\/students\">T Levels<\/a> have been designed in partnership with employers to give you the skills and knowledge to get on in the workplace. They combine classroom learning with industry placements to prepare you for skilled work or higher level study. 1 T Level is the equivalent of 3 A levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to UCAS points and are accepted by universities but if you have a specific degree\/university in mind please check before deciding whether to take vocational qualifications or A levels.  Further information on UCAS points and the application process for university can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucas.com%2F&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNH-sQtbtr-4TuQQv1x2fTJ2_ESiow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UCAS website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information on Post 16 options is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcareers.service.gov.uk\/careers-advice\/career-choices-at-16#a-levels\">National Careers Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Further Education colleges offer two main types of qualifications A levels Vocational qualifications eg.
