What is the difference between Level 3 diplomas and A levels?

A Levels are academic exam-based qualifications. They allow you to study 3 or 4 different subjects alongside each other. Level 3 Diplomas (e.g., BTEC) are vocational qualifications linked to career areas. They are assessed by course work, assignments, and some small exams. Higher Education courses accept both types of Level 3 qualifications.
