How Many Gcses Is a Btec First Certificate Worth

The qualifications are fully recognised as holding equivalences to GCSEs. For example, a Level 2 BTEC First Diploma is worth the equivalent of 4 GCSEs grade A*-C. This means a student can do a Level 2 BTEC First independently alongside GCSEs, or work towards them both in the same subject area.

How many GCSEs does a BTEC count for?

Btecs are very flexible. They can be studied at various levels, each of which equates to a different qualification: Btec Level 1 and 2 = equivalent to GCSEs.

What is a BTEC Level 1 pass equivalent to in GCSE?

If you are taking a BTEC First then you can get a Level 1 Pass, this is equal to a grade 1 or G at GCSE level.
