Advice on getting started with GCSEs So I’m looking for advice on how to get started with completed GCSEs (Mostly Bs and Cs). I’ve also got two AS Levels (A and a D). If it makes any different, I’m 18.

In the end, I’m looking to be able to gain a degree which will allow me to work in software engineering positions.

So far, I’ve found Access to HE courses and a degree. There are no entry requirements, so I’m not sure which one would be best for me to select.

I’m currently enrolled in a college doing a BTEC Level 3 Computing course, but I honestly hate the environment. Teachers showing favouritism, long travel times, wasted time, etc. I’d rather focus everything into learning at home.

I have a very strong background in programming and the fundamentals of computer science, to the point where I’m making money off my personal projects. Due to this, I feel the degree would be better, but I don’t want to under estimate the difficulty. I’m honestly clueless which to pick as a result.
