Unless you're planning on adding that link to your CV, it makes sense to make it clear what level 2 means on your CV.

Even if they do understand what level 2 means, it sounds like you've spent 4 years doing the equivalent of 4 GCSEs? What did you do prior to 2013?

You keep getting the same feedback--need more experience, volunteer more. It sounds like your CV is giving employers the impression that you've spent the 8(?) years since you left school bumming around the house and not doing an awful lot with yourself.

If this isn't the case, then get help with your CV.

I will tell you what i've been doing for the last 8 years. In 2010 i started off in another college but i got very depressed and the police even had to be called, I quit college and spent 3 years living with my grandfather not wanting to do anything, feeling even more depressed and angry.

Then in 2013 i moved in with my mum and stepdad and started college with Entry level 3, it went really well and ever since been at college working my way up to a level 2 qualification. I have gotten through this year doing well at college but still feeling depressed and angry with my stepbrother. Next year i want to do Level 3.

So i spent 3 years 2010-2013 not doing anything because of that

I employ staff and have no idea what any qualifications are outside of GCSEs, A-levels and Degrees.

But i don't have any GCSE, A-Levels or Degrees so are you saying i will never find a job

Also i can't volunteer any more, sometimes i actually want to shout at the people i volunteer for because i do more work there then some people actually get paid for and they have said the same thing

But employers don't know that do that. Maybe you could say in additional notes that the gap between qualifications is due to some personal health issues at the time

I don't recall saying that, do you?

We are saying put in brackets equivalent to gcse a-c next to level 2. Which has already been said.

please don't put it next to entry level 2 just the level 2.

Forget your brother. For the hundredth time just focus on your self forget what your brother has.

After the age of 21 does any employer actually care about GCSE's or A-Levels?

I'm not doing Entry 2, i'm just doing Level 2.

Entry Level is competently different to a proper Level 2 course

I have to start off at Entry Level 3 Skills for working life, then progressed on to a Level 1 course and then a Level 2 course

Yes if they haven't got anything other qualifications and this guy hasn't and they are very basic.
