Today I had my college interview for (insert college) and the guy who interviewed me was the tutor of our network manager lol, so he was kinda kind and funny, anyway, I got the place if I get 4 A-C's which I have one A already in Turkish, Im pretty much sure Ill get above 4 buy anyway..
Im going to do BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners, is anyone else doing this course?

[Ramones]

oh cool i have an inetrview in march, is that the one that counts as 2 A levels? and are you just taking that or another subject aswell?

[DiscoPat]

Instead of A levels, I chose to do BTEC which is equivelent to 3 A levels, and you only choose one subject/section such as ICT, Art, maths, Business etc..

[Ramones]

yeah there's one where i'm going thats IT and business studies together equivelant to 4 A levels. But meh i still haven't decided

[Luckyrare]

Nah. I personaly dont think BTECs are as employable than GCSEs

[the wombats]

i do that course, it's well easy. is it level 3? if so it's the one i do :)

[Lycan]

i'm doing a btec national diplomia in IT,


i don't like it tho, in sept my college are offering a much better course all about coding and another about hardware rather then the one i'm on that jams them all together

[DiscoPat]

Yeah it is level 3 :)

Im doing a BTEC National in Performing arts from next year. Should be good fun.

[the wombats]

Yeah it is level 3 :)

it is easy. some stuff may be boring and crap. but you get something equivalent to 2/3 A levels at the end of the 2yrs.

[DiscoPat]
