Do pupils have to pass A-level examinations enter a College of Further Education?

No, pupils do not have to pass A-level examinations to enter a College of Further Education (further education college or FE college). FE colleges offer a wide range of courses, many of which are accessible with qualifications lower than A-levels, such as GCSEs or equivalent. While A-levels might be a prerequisite for some higher-level courses, many others cater to students with different entry qualifications.
