Not sure where to start.

Hey i am looking to get back into education (and sort my life out) but I'm not really sure what the most efficient way to do that is.

When i was in secondary school i didn't really focus so i am left with mostly D's on my GCSE's apart from a B in Maths that stands out.

My friends mentioned that there is a way for me to get into university with what i have but i couldn't really find anything (they mentioned there are university courses that catch you up to the university level).

I always had a passion for programming and working on circuits since i was 11(I'm 20 now) and I know that the knowledge i have is decently high but I have no paper(grades) to prove it, I don't meet the 4x C grades that most colleges require for a Level 3 course so I'm wondering if the only way for me to progress is through a Level 2 course.

Most of the circuits and programs I worked on over the years as a hobby I lost due to hard-drive failure (No backups) and I only have a few that I can present at the interview, so I'm also wondering if I am able to display my knowledge I can get into something higher.

I put myself in a really bad spot and i just hope i can get out of this somehow (I am completely motivated to fix my past mistakes), I know i can do so much better and the path I'm going down right now will only lead me to a factory job which is completely off at a tangent to what i would like to do.

I'm in the UK (East Midlands) if that helps. Thank you.
