Mayday, I definitely was not implying that you cannot achieve high grades in part time education the proof of that was the DD (Distinction, Distinction). What i was arguing is that the workload is higher than that of A-Levels and we should not be discriminated against for the reason that we don't possess A-Levels. I understand the necessity to screen candidates in a certain way and my original question back on page 53 was along the lines of is it acceptable to hold any other type of qualification and still be considered? G-Force gave a good answer but there has not really been anything definitive from a past applicant that has had this kind of issue. Any enlightenment on the subject rather than bias towards one or another type of educational background would be appreciated.
