It does say if you do not meet the criteria your application would not be accepted. With the likely competiton I'm afraid to say it is very unlikely as it is a minimum criteria.
As mentioned in the above post. So either GCSE or equivalent. If you did a GNVQ and passed this is 4 gcse equivalent.
Key skills at level 2 English and maths also count as the equivalent GCSE grade C. (If you passed it)
i have used my nvq's and city and guilds got through application (nvq 2 = 5 gcse grade a-c.nvq 3 =3 a level) passed test and waiting for depot interview.
