The primary benefit of a Level 2 course at Alton is the accessibility that they provide to so many of our students. If your GCSE grades are not what you expected, and therefore prevent you from accessing a Level 3 or equivalent course, a Level 2 course serves as a useful stepping stone towards higher-level study.
