Can you join as an officer with the required GCSEs and a degree, but not the A level UCAS points?

Hi John

Thanks for your question. To become an Officer you need: 35 ALIS points and 72 UCAS Tariff points.

If you apply you will be asked for all your qualifications, our system will then tell you if you are eligible to join as an Officer. To find out more before application please feel welcome to contact 0345 600 8080 and our Contact Team will be able to check with our Initial Eligibility Team (IET) . The IET are able to transfer your qualifications and grades into UCAS equivalents to see if you meet the requirements.

Please see the link below for the breakdown of ALIS points:
