My student is on a BTEC course, can they still apply?

Information for schools on BTEC courses

Written by Elliot

Absolutely. There’s no issue if your student has taken T-Levels, BTECs, or international qualifications. Many of our members have pursued qualifications outside the traditional GCSE/A-Level pathway.

The process for understanding grade equivalencies is straightforward. UCAS provides useful guidance on how these qualifications compare to A-Levels. If your student is uncertain about the calculations, there are online grade calculators that can assist with this.

However, it's important to note that these tools provide estimates rather than exact matches, so they should be used as guidelines. In most cases, we are happy to work with an approximate grade conversion.

If further clarification is needed, we recommend reaching out to the relevant UK exam boards or the university for additional support regarding grade equivalencies.
