DC is currently in college studying A levels, due to sit AS imminently. For a variety of reasons doesn't want t complete second year of college. Is it possible to get fully funded btec's online and for them to actually be a worthwhile qualification. DC is very bright and college currently failing them (funding issues, not actually employing qualified teachers etc) and no viable option locally, hence wanting to change what they are doing. I am finding it hard to find information online though about being able to study remotely and whether it would be fully funded or not.
You'll find discussions about A Levels and universities on our Further Education forum.

There is a students in my sons year who changed colleges after starting a Btec at his local college. Teaching was very poor and he wasn't being challenged. No-one asked him any questions about that at his new college. He did have to repeat the first year.

if a student has the correct GCSE qualifications and the college has a space available admission cannot be denied. They have to follow their admissions criteria of which an interview cannot form part (apart from advising on choice of course)
