Doing an extra A-level, or can I use my degree?

[iron-mansl]

I have applied to the ABM role but have been told I cannot proceed as I do not meet the educational requirements [2 x A-Level at A-C], which I didn't meet due to extenuating circumstances. Is it acceptable to complete another A-level [I am now 25] to add to my application, or can my degree which I will be completing in a years time be used in lieu of two A-Levels?
I would go to my local AFCO but I'm currently out of the country.

What degree are you doing?

 

[iron-mansl]

Geography [BSc]. I was previously employed in civi flight ops & planning.

Cool. I just wanted to make sure you weren't doing a "Mickey Mouse" degree. Assuming you pass, therefore, you will not need the A Level (but please remember this advice is good today, it may be different a year from now).

It's still a colouring-in degree, but I'll take that as a compliment...

Why not spend a little less time in the Union Bar and do both? I daresay it might help if you join the UAS going for the air experience option rather than pilot training as such.

I'm in the OTC rather than UAS [was originally planning on joining the Pongos], plus am already a qualified pilot, Mountain Leader and rock climbing instructor. Can't find the Union bar...

You have done all of this as well as a degree in geography, and still you have not been able to read the campus map to find the bar!!!!

Well I have to ask, if you are already hold a PPL, why aren't you in or thinking about joining the UAS?

Perhaps he means he can't find his way back to the bar and needs to brush up on his navigation-when-plastered (always useful if an alert is called after a dining-in night). Obviously, this is just the chap they're looking for!

(I was once stopped in the street near Plymouth station by a vanload of Naval Police and asked for directions. Makes yer think...)

I was originally looking to go into the AAC, but my age defies me, looking to transfer to the UAS for my final year.
