You should also have GCSE grade C or above in mathematics and English language, or equivalent qualifications. If you've studied for a GCSE which has a numerical grade, you'll need to achieve a grade 4 or above. Equivalency to these grades will only be accepted equivalencytesting.com(opens in new tab).

In addition to academic qualifications, you must also:
