What is the difference between A-levels and vocational qualifications such as NVQs?
A-levels are academic qualifications which are suitable for students who achieve at least 5 GCSEs at C grade or above. They are available in a range of subjects and allow students to keep their options open. Vocational courses are for individuals who know which area they wish to specialise or work in. Requirements for these courses can vary, depending on the level of course.
