The BTEC First Diploma is a vocational qualification taken in England and Wales and Northern Ireland by young people aged 14 and over and by adults.
However some students who may have three grade Cs could progress onto a degree in a university providing that they have gained a distinction or a merit profile.
The usual entry requirements consist of a mix of GCSE subject passes at grades D-G or better.
Equivalent entry qualifications are also commonly accepted, including an appropriate BTEC Introductory Diploma with a merit grade or higher.
