So ds studies Maths, CS and physics at a level
His most likely grades (based of past papers he's done) are C - Maths, B, Computer science
Now the issue comes with physics, which is around E/U.
He has applied for computer science at a uni that's pretty flexible with entry requirements (officially 112 UCAS points but after speaking to someone there they'll take anyone at 96 or above) however he is not sure if they can stretch that far with physics.
He absolutely loves computer science and had he of not done a level physics his grades would most likely be BCC, but given covid and inflated GCSEs there was no concerns on paper about him doing it at a level.
Non of his grades are through lack of trying he's just not really an exam sort of person, he prefers coursework, of which he has excelled in.
My concern is, should he need to do a foundation year, would it be a waste of time, since his maths and CS is pretty much there?
ds thinks it is a waste of time and is suggesting if he doesnt get in without a foundation year he'd rather get a normal job and study various certifications, one of which is ComTIA+, I have never heard of such as I am not a techie, and I am not sure if this would be a secure path. Has anyone heard of this before? Does this acctually help to get into tech jobs?
