GCSE qualification:

A General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is a qualification normally taken by most UK students at the end of compulsory education. It normally take two years and you take the final exams when you’re 16. The equivalent in Scotland is Standard Grade.

Why?

As well as giving you useful skills and knowledge in themselves, GCSEs are an important stepping stone if you want to get a job or continue studying. Many employers and colleges ask for candidates to have at least five GCSEs, so they will come in useful, whatever you choose to do.
Whilst you must study certain subjects like English, Science and Maths at GCSE level, there are a range of other subjects you can choose to study as well. Some courses are really practical and hands-on, whereas others are more academic and involve more reading and writing. You should be able to find something to suit your interests.

A level qualification:

Advanced level qualifications (known as A levels) are subject-based qualifications that can lead to university, further study, training, or work. You can normally study three or more A levels over two years. They’re usually assessed by a series of examinations.

What grades do I need to take A levels?
You normally need:

at least five GCSEs at grades 9 to 4/A* to C
at least grade B in the specific subject(s) you want to study

However, the specific requirements needed to study A levels will vary across schools and colleges. It's important to check what you will need with the school or college you are looking to study at.

Who are they for?

If you're thinking about going to university, most higher education courses require specific A levels or combinations of A levels (or alternative level 3 qualifications).
If you’re not sure what career or job you want to do, studying a selection of A levels can be a good way of keeping your options open.
