The drawback of this is that you have to pay (via student loans) - around £9,000 for the year, whilst it is free to study for A-levels or Btecs at a sixth form or college. If you are over 18 then you have the option of Access Courses too.įoundation degrees at University are another option for those who do not have level 3 qualifications, or do not have them at the right grades to get into their desired course. There are a few exceptions in IT but, while it is fairly easy to find companies keen to sell courses, we have not yet heard from anyone who has successfully completed this route.

There are many vocational qualifications such as Btecs and NVQs which are available at college, but you cannot normally study for these from home education because they are based on continuous assessment. These will most commonly be A-levels, but some home - educated students take Open University courses or study for American SATs. If you are aiming for university, you will need to be studying for level 3 qualifications or courses.
