Even if you have few or no formal qualifications, you may be able to gain entry to the course if you have the required communication and learning skills, as well as the knowledge, experience, and motivation to succeed. You will be required to take an English and/or Mathematics skills test if you do not hold GCSE Maths and English qualifications or their recognized equivalent.
