What is a Level 3?

Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to an A Level. If you are interested in learning new skills, this could be best for you. It is more in depth than a level 2 and can be useful for breaking into new roles.

What’s next after I sign up?

You will need to complete all the required forms, you may be asked (via email) to complete a short English and maths test to continue your enrolment process. Once you have completed all entry requirements, you will be on course.

What does no funding mean?

Funding is based on the government and certain areas that colleges may be based in. If your area currently doesn’t have funding this usually means that either the college has overallocated students to their courses or the area falls in a region where government funds aren’t currently supplied to colleges in that particular area.
