    Well I don't think i would be affected now. I feel I have changed alot in the past few days. I Have a 10 year plan and in that 10 years I would like a job, more money obviously, do be able to drive, have a place of my own, have a partner and who knows maybe kids!!!

    I feel much better, although not perfect I am gaining more confidence

    On your cv I'd expand a bit more (you may have done already) as those qualifications don't mean anything to me. What (nationally recognised) level are they at for example, it might just be that I'm in the wrong loop.

    Well Entry 3 is-Where you go on a course without any qualifications

    Level 1 is-GCSE - grade D, E, F or G
    Level 2 is-grade A*, A, B or C
    And Level 3 where I am going on to is A level - grade A, B, C, D or E

    Thats how i think anyway, here is the link, I hope its correct

    Level 1 includes GCSE D, E, F, G.

    Level 2 includes GCSE A*, A, B, C.

    Level 3 includes A level.

    All 3 Levels include many other qualifications besides GCSE and A levels.

    So what should I put, I got a Level 1 Pass, A Level 2 Pass then last year I did another Level 2 course getting a distinction, So would the distinction be worth A GSCE A

    I would not worry about listing Level 1 qualifications when you have a Level 2 in the same subject.

    Recruiters should know what Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications mean - that, for example, a Level 3 is at the same level as a GCE 'A' level but is not equivalent to one.
