I'm not sure of all the qualifications they do
bnut the course im doing is AVCE, i know they also do GNVQ which is a much lower qualification....

my year was the last year they are doing AVCE (which at the end of 2 years gets you 2 A levels) and they are now doing BTEC instead which consists of just coursework (no exams) and it gives you 3 A levels after 2 years.....

you can also re-take GCSE's there if you want...(i re-took my maths GCSE last year...

However if you become a student at highlands....you can apply to go to hautlieu and do AS/A2 levels....so if you wanted an A level in say....psychology (as i do) you can apply to go to hautlieu (as i am) you dont have an interview its almost like they automaticly allow you to go,
i asked whether i was going to have an interview a week before term started and they were like "no you dont need one".......

but yeah as i said i dont know of other qualifications they give you other than
BTEC (3 A levels....was called AVCE which gave 2 A Levels)
GNVQ <---i dont know much about this other than it doesnt reallly qualify you for very much other than to go onto a AVCE/BTEC course...

hope this helps
