Really need advice please! College...

Well I started my VCTC Level 2 Beauty in January, everything is great!
Its only a short course, 24 weeks.
My college are starting to enroll for Level 3 which starts in Sept but is a year long and an NVQ.
Basically my problem is, my tutor said we can progress from this course onto the Level 3 in Sept. Only to find out today that it is no longer possible and would need to do the full NVQ Level 2 first.

There is another college down the road from me, that is possible to go onto Level 3 there as a girl on my course has enquired and has sent an app form to them.

Basically I need advice on what to do... was this course a huge waste of my time? is it good to have a VCTC and an NVQ both at level 2? or should I cut my losses and go straight to Level 3 in the other college??

Might I add I have made a huge investment in the products I have bought especially for this course

Sorry for all this, need answers from you experts

that is shocking.

VTCT is equivalent to NVQ. I would go to the other college. Vote with your feet. They will find that their course is not viable due to lack of numbers....

Another question if you dont mind
if I go straight to Level 3, is this level 2 course enough in terms of learning? I mean year long ones are more in depth

VTCT is the awarding body not the qualification and NVQ is the qualification (as far as I know!) - ive done NVQ2 - VTCT were the awarding body and that is where my certificate comes from but it is a NVQ2
