Looking for some assistance on this. My DD16 isn't coping with 6th form due to poor mental health. I am looking for options to restart in September and she hasn't yet agreed to it but is starting to realise its too late for what she is currently signed up to (IB!).
Unfortunately the local college doesn't seem to offer T Levels or BTech extended Diploma which is equivalent to A levels.
The closest thing is NCFE L3 Dip in Skills for Business Enterprise.
From all searches I have done, this is worth 90 credits so unless she does an access course at 19, she may not be able to pursue university options.
I am not pushing her towards uni but her heart is set on it.
Does anyone know a bit more about these courses and is there a possibility to supplement them to earn more credits?
Thanks very much.

Make an appointment with the college to go in and discuss what pathways are available to uni within their qualifications. In my experience, websites are often a bit unclear because they can offer the same qualification but at a range of weightings, so difficult to decipher.
A meeting would also give you a chance to find out what support is offered for student mental health, which will be almost as essential as the course. College is more independent, which can go either way for a student struggling in the way your DD is.

Thanks for the good advice.
I have asked for an appointment to do just that!
