Level 3 Programme of Study This is a two-year programme where students study the equivalent of three A Level subjects or BTEC National courses and, if necessary, re-take Maths or English if they have not yet achieved Grade 4 at GCSE.

What is the ‘mix and match’ offer? Unlike many school sixth forms, students at Coulsdon Sixth Form College have the option to ‘mix and match’ A Levels with BTEC Level 3 courses, or opt to study all A Levels or all BTECs. The ‘mix and match’ combinations are endless. This ensures your timetable is tailor-made for you, giving you the best possible chance of doing well. If you don’t pass English Language or Maths GCSE at Grade 4 or above, you will also have these subjects on your timetable.

30 Coulsdon Sixth Form College Prospectus 2022/23

What are the entry qualification requirements for Level 3 courses? Students wishing to study Level 3 programmes need to achieve at least four GCSE passes at Grade 4 or above. Students wishing to include A Levels in their programmes need to achieve at least five GCSE passes at Grade 4 or above, with at least two at Grade 5 or above. In addition to these general entry requirements, some courses, particularly A Level subjects have specific entry requirements. Please visit our website for course specific information.

How many units are students expected to take? The majority of students are encouraged to create a programme which incorporates three ‘units’ in their first year where one unit is the equivalent to one A Level. See the table which shows the various sizes of BTEC qualifications and their equivalence to A Level sizes.

How do I decide between A Levels and BTECs? A Levels:

BTECs:

If students enjoy an intellectual challenge and are good at understanding concepts and applying them, they will probably be suited to A Level study.

BTEC Level 3 courses are practical, workrelated courses that are assessed mainly through coursework although most of those offered at Coulsdon now have some external assessments. BTECs are recognised by universities and employers alike as suitable entry qualifications for university courses, apprenticeships and graduate training programmes.

Most A Levels are not directly job related and, because of this, it is possible for students to keep their options open about career and higher education choices.

BTEC Level 2 Awards These are practical, work-related courses that introduce learners to their chosen

employment area and provide a good basis to go on to a more advanced work-related qualification, or directly into employment. The BTEC Level 2 Award is equivalent to one GCSE (Grade 9 - 4) and is assessed via a combination of coursework and external assessment.

GCSEs The College offers GCSEs in English Language, Mathematics and Double Science. Students may combine these within an Intermediate or Advanced Level Programme of study.
