A-Level Extra
Preston’s College is providing Level 3 learners with the option to study one A-Level alongside their technical-vocational qualification. Choosing whether to study a BTEC or A-Level pathway can be a tough decision to make, that’s why we’re offering learners the opportunity to combine both methods of study to create a broader combination of qualifications. This combination gives you the chance to develop your creative and technical skills during a BTEC, while developing your research and analytical skills through an A-Level.
