About this course
This course is ideal for students who are interested in studying science but do not wish to study a separate A Level Science qualification.
This course can be taken as a BTEC Extended Certificate (1 A Level equivalent) or a BTEC Diploma (2 A Level Equivalent) so there is something to suit each learner’s choice of study programme.
