Level 3 / SCQF 6 apprenticeships · 2027 Tariff

Apprenticeship UCAS points

A Level 3 apprenticeship is worth 48, 64, 96 or 112 UCAS points. Grade doesn’t matter. Length does: a two-year apprenticeship is 96, the same as CCC at A level. Search every apprenticeship on the UCAS tables below.

How apprenticeship points work

UCAS treats apprenticeships a little differently from other qualifications. Instead of guided learning hours, the size comes from the expected length of the apprenticeship in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and from SCQF credits in Scotland. Every apprenticeship gets the same grade band (8) for a pass.

Expected lengthSCQF creditsSize bandPointsOn the tables

18 to 23 months72 to 99864171
12 to 17 months71 or fewer648145

Size band 14 exists only for apprenticeships. Ordinary qualifications stop at 12. Every Northern Ireland apprenticeship on the tables is 24 months, so all of them are 96. Source: UCAS Tariff Guide and the Apprenticeships sheet of the 2027 Tariff tables.

Find your apprenticeship

English apprenticeships are listed by standard name and reference (the ST number on your apprenticeship agreement). Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish ones go by framework name.

Apprenticeship points next to other qualifications

UCAS lines up a two-year apprenticeship with the standard pass grades of the other big qualifications: 96 points is CCC at A level, MMM in a BTEC Extended Diploma, and a T Level Pass with A* to C in the core. A 36-month apprenticeship (112) is level with DMM or BBC.

In Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland many apprenticeships contain a Level 3 qualification that also has its own Tariff points. UCAS asks universities to count whichever is higher, never both. Its own analysis found about one Welsh apprentice in five gets more from the embedded qualification, so it’s worth checking both. Use the calculator or the points chart to compare.

Many universities set their own entry routes for apprentices and people applying from work, sometimes alongside an Access to HE Diploma. If a course only quotes A level grades, ask the admissions team how they treat your apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship questions

Do apprenticeships get UCAS points?

Level 3 apprenticeships do (SCQF Level 6 in Scotland). A pass is worth 48, 64, 96 or 112 points depending on how long the apprenticeship is designed to last. Level 2 apprenticeships get none.

Does a Distinction in my apprenticeship give more points?

No. UCAS only awards points for a pass, so that every UK nation is treated the same. A university can still take a Merit or Distinction into account when it reads your application.

If I finish my apprenticeship early, do I get fewer points?

No. Points are based on the published expected length of the apprenticeship, not how long you took.

Can I count my apprenticeship and the qualification inside it?

No, only the higher of the two. In Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland many apprenticeships include a Level 3 qualification with its own Tariff points. UCAS tells universities to count whichever is worth more, and never both.

Is a two-year apprenticeship worth the same as A levels?

On points, a 24-month apprenticeship (96) matches three A levels at CCC or a T Level Pass with a C or better in the core.
