How to Apply to blatch6Choosing your coursesYou need to think carefully about what subjects you are interested in and what level of course you wish to apply for. See what courses we have to offer at Blatch6 Level 2 coursesLevel 2 courses are at an intermediate level. They are usually for students who want to work at the equivalent of GCSE’s and who may want to focus on a particular area of study, e.g travel and tourism, art and design. Students will be expected to participate in supplementary subjects to make up a full course of study therefore these students must show they are able to study at this level by achieving grade A – C at GCSE in at least two subjects. Level 3 coursesLevel 3 courses are at an advanced level of study. To begin work on advanced level courses, students must achieve a minimum of 5 GCSE’S at grades A* to C in at least four different subjects. A LevelsAn A Level consists of six units studied over two years, marked by externally assessed exams and internally assessed coursework. Three units are generally assessed at the end of the first year, resulting in a qualification called the AS leverl (Advanced Subsidiary level). Another three modules are then assessed at the end of the second year, making up the A2. The A2 does not form a qualification in its own right and a satisfactory completion of both AS and A2 units is required for a completed A level in a given subject. The normal practice is to take four subjects at AS level, reducing to three at A2, although some students continue with four. From September 2008, candidates will take four papers for most A levels, instead of the current six Making an applicationOnce you have thought about your options and decided your subjects, you need to make an application to blatch6.
