    English GCSE

    Hello,
    I am a young guy with an ambition to become a deck officer in the future.


    I have a C in English Media, and I'm currently wondering if this counts when companies say you need a Grade C in GCSE English?

    Cheers

    Most companies will specifically ask for a C grade in English literature and English language - Infact, most (if not all) colleges will ask for Cs in English language and English literature... So even if you managed to find a company which would accept you without a C in those subjects, It'd be a challenge to find a college which would take you.

    EDIT : See Hatchorders post below.

    If you really want a career at sea, there's nothing stopping you from attending GCSE English night classes - It'll show you're determined to follow your ambition.
    Pointy bit is the front, blunt bit is the back... Simples!

    Will work for money/sea time.

      A C in Media is not the same as a C in English Language, so in short, no.
