Do Airlines Accept Level 3 BTecs as A-Levels?

[RyanPerry320]

Hello
So I'm currently at college Studying 2x Btecs and 1x A-level. Nowadays I've learnt that btecs are worth the same as A-levels.
After reading up that the currently closed BA MPL requires 112 UCAS points I'm interested in if they accept btecs. I'm on course for 2x D* in both the BTECs which are worth 56 UCAS points each and a C/B in my A-level giving me around 140ish. Do Airlines such as BA and easyJet accept this as requirements for the MPL courses?

I completed my GCSE's and got C/B's across the board so they are fine.

Any responces would be great!

As long as you have the minimum criteria for flying they generally don't dig too much into your education. Most flight schools depending if you're integrated or modular will look into your actual grades and Btecs to see if they are the equivalent to transfer across to the course as when you graduate flight school/complete, the airlines want to see your capabilities of flying and how you did in your ATPL's

Hope this helps

Cheers Man! So flight schools mark you of the set grades that they have set and do not compare you to others applying?

Thanks

Ryan,
I would not worry too much about it. I have friends who are skippers on some very large jets who never passed an school exam in their life.
As for MPL, well I would not be looking at that either, but that's because I'm old school.
There are lots of opportunities out there, not just BA and Easy, yo'u're young, so go modular, then get out and do some real flying, bush or otherwise, have some fun learning how to really fly, in 5 or 10 years the airlines will still be there.

Yeah so in Flight school generally you have to achieve the grades that they have set as the minimum which is usually 80%, most flight schools do not have an education requirement like the big bois who require just GCSE's or at least 2 A Levels at grade C or above in any subject

2x A-Levels or equivalent? As I said I'm doing 2x Sub Diploma BTECs which are worth 1x A-Level each

Thanks!

Correct 2 Alevels or equivalent, for example, I am doing Integrated at FTE Jerez and they require:
Minimum of a grade 4 (or grade C) at GCSE level in English, Maths, and Physics (or equivalent).Hold either one of the following:

• Two A-Levels at grades C, 4 or above (or equivalent i.e. Baccalaureate, Bachillerato, Highers, Leaving Certs., Maturitá…).
• A University Degree (or Higher Degree) at 2:2 or above.
