Most students going on to study advanced level courses will have obtained 5 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C. However, there are many opportunities to study even if you have not obtained these grades, including work-related training.
For advice on continuing in study or on work-related training, contact the local Connexions service.
All qualifications are now assessed, as part of a national framework, at different levels, ranging form Level 1 to level 5.
