Your qualification gained will be awarded by either AQA or Cambridge (CIE) meaning it is equivalent to class-room based A Levels.

Most learners will complete the qualification over one or two years and it just depends on their circumstances. Other learners with prior experience in the subject or who are highly motivated may opt for fast-track and complete within a matter of months.
