    Yeah few questions, and possible a few more.
    1) A BTEC diploma in business, would that be classed as a different qualificated to gcse? I am assuming so but best to check
    2) Courses which offer more then 1 gcse, how should I put it?
    3) This course: http://www.edexcel.com/quals/dida/sp...s/default.aspx (dida), is it a gcse course? Again, I dont think so but its best to check.

    ill probably have more so ill keep posting questions.

    1) It would be classed as a BTEC, I don't recommend taking BTECs as sixth forms, colleges and universities see it as lesser of a qualification than a GCSE, if you're intrested in business studies I would recommend you take GCSE Buisness Studies.
    2) I don't know what you're asking, please expand.
    3) It is classed as a DiDA, I have never heard of these so it's best to just take the GCSE route.

    Even though BTECs etc are usually said to be 'equivalent to _ GCSEs' they are still seen as lesser of a qualification compared to the the same number or even less of the GCSEs it states, hope that helped.

    Are you applying for a level 3 course (A Level or equivalents) or level 2 (GCSE or equivalents)?

    I'm confused!

    Sorry for the confusion. I have done these subjects in school and need to know how to present it on a college application!

    1) These sites may be of some use to you. The first one is out of date as of 31st Aug 2010, but as far as I know the second site isn't out of date:

    http://www.edexcel.com/migrationdocu...ence_Guide.pdf
    http://www.edexcel.com/quals/BTEC/wh...ogression.aspx

    2) Usually GCSEs which offer more than one award are referred to as Double Award (for 2 GCSEs) and Triple Award (for 3 GCSEs). As far as I know there aren't any qualifications which have the title of GCSE that provide more than 3 GCSEs. If there are, you'll have to find someone who knows more about it.

    3) Unless a qualification has GCSE or GCSE Equivalent attached to it, it isn't a GCSE qualification. Also as DiDA stands for "Diploma in Digital Applications", I would suggest referring to it as a DiDA or its full title.

    You can always ask Connexions or a Job Centre about how to present your qualifications on an application. Or if you're in college or Sixth Form, there should be someone there who can help you.
