WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU? UNDERSTANDING QUALIFICATION LEVELS & ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
At Petroc, our dynamic and diverse course provision is central to delivering the skills you need for future success.
Recent national data compiled by the Government has shown that learners aged 16-19, who achieve a Level 3 qualification, have the best possible chance to go on and succeed in their future career. This is why we have made it our mission to provide clear, logical and appropriate pathways - from Level 1 to Level 3 qualifications - so that you can plan your path to success.
Understanding what level, course or qualification is suitable for you can sometimes feel confusing.
So we have created a quick-glance guide to the qualification levels available to you at Petroc and their related entry requirements.
The entry requirements detailed are a guide and during the application process, we will ask you about your predicted grades. These will be used to offer you the most appropriate level course. If you then achieve a higher or lower grade we may adjust the level of your course accordingly to help you to attain your best result.
Some courses require specific or additional grades – please see the individual course details for more information.
As always, further information and help can be found on our website or you can contact our dedicated Advice & Guidance Team.
Entry Level:
Entry Level courses give you access to Level 1 qualifications and employment. Qualifications include personalised outcomes to enable you to progress.
Entry requirements: For all learners joining Entry Level Study Programmes, there are no formal entry requirements, however, you will have a one-to-one interview to discuss your personal learning needs. You will also be required to study English and Maths at an appropriate level to suit your ability.
Level 1:
Level 1 courses offer you the opportunity to acquire a broad range of knowledge and practical skills not taught in school to allow you to enter a trade or profession, such as plumbing and construction.
Completing a Level 1 qualification will give you access to Level 2 opportunities, apprenticeships and employment. This includes vocational qualifications and Functional Skills.
Entry requirements: You must hold four GCSEs at Grade 2 or equivalent (or above), preferably including Maths and English.
If you do not have a GCSE Grade 4 in Maths and/or English, you’ll continue studying these subjects alongside your chosen course/s.
At the end of the year, you are expected to have completed and achieved all the components of your Level 1 Study Programme and improved your Maths and English skills (where applicable) before progressing on to your next course.
