What is a Level 3 qualification?

A Level 3 qualification is a recognised, work-focused qualification that can help you get a better job, change career, or progress at work. Many are vocational, with practical, hands-on learning linked to real jobs rather than school-style exams.

Examples of Level 3 courses include:

Health & Social Care
Childcare or Early Years
Construction and Trades
Engineering
Digital or IT Support
Business and office-based roles

You may already have a Level 3 qualification if you have completed:

A levels
A BTEC
An NVQ Level 3
An advanced apprenticeship
Or a similar qualification

Adults normally have to pay to take a Level 3 qualification. This survey explores what might help or stop adults from doing their first Level 3 qualification if it were free of charge.
