McDonald's A Level

McDonald's A-level wow what a brain teaser that would be. I want one just for shits and giggles.

In theory they should be of the same standard as any other similar qualification, otherwise the QCA wouldn't have given them awarding body status. The main difference being that they're probably a lot more vocational than traditional GCSE's or A-levels. They basically sound like business studies A-levels, but with actual work experience, so I can't see too much wrong with them. Needless to say, Oxford and Cambridge won't be accepting them: don't forget that thses are the universities that produced a list of 20 to 30 A-levels that "weren't preferable" as well (and you didn't stand a chance if you have two from that list), yet it doesn't mean A-levels are suddenly useless.

Just to head off the jokes in advance, I know I work for M(ickey) M(ouse) U(niversity) and that I teach some students of questionable intellect, and that we seem to give our degrees away in cerial packets...
but is it just me or an A level in a happy meal an improvement upon the GI Joe toys of our youth?! Do they call getting an A* "going large"?
