What is an A Level?

A Level vs BTEC

Key differences

  • BTECs are more practical, whereas A Levels focus on theory.
  • A Levels are assessed by exams at the end of the two year qualification, whereas BTECs are coursework based.
  • Some BTECs account for more than one of your three options at Level 3, so you can choose to specialise in one subject (and achieve the equivalent of 3 A Levels).
