Not Telling

I've been in contact with Ramkhamhaeng University to find out more about their International BA in English.
I have been told that in order to qualify for the program id need A level and at minimum a High School Diploma. I left school some years ago, and it would be very difficult to produce a High School Diploma. .
Once i completed high school i then went on to study at College for 4 years, where i recieved City & Guilds Level 2/NVQ3 qualifications. The qualifications i have are equivalent to an A level in the UK. My question is, how do I explain or convince RU that the qualifications i have are the equivalent of an A level and would hopefully allow me to study there. How would I do this?
Are there any other Uni's that would accept me? Failing that, would i be able to study a non-degree course to earn credits in which to use to go on to study for a degree. (I am aware of GED as an option)
Hope i have explained clearly. Thanks for any help u may be able to provide.

If you apply at Ramkhamhaeng Institute of International Studies, and you have completed high school, then it should be fine. During application either you or the school (I'm not who now) will submit your paperwork to the Ministry of Education. From there the MOE will contact your high school to confirm your completion of studies. Once that is confirmed, then Ramkhamhaeng can issue you a student ID. During this process which can take as long as a year, you are allowed to study courses alongside all the other students. I would not advise declaring yourself as non-degree. If you do, then the longer you are in non-degree status, the more money you will have to pay to transfer all your completed credits over to degree status.
If the MOE cannot confirm your graduation from high school or any other equivalent education credentials, then the last resort, as you mentioned, is to apply for the GED here in one the various centers that offers it.
