Hi, to become an officer you'll need 35 ALIS points from 7 subjects (GCSE) at least grade C / 4 in English Language, maths and/or science / a foreign language. You'll also need 72 UCAS Tarrif points from a max of 3 subjects. In simple terms, you'll need to do A'levels or a B'Tech or some further studies after GCSE!!!
