For UK learners, we can offer AQA or Cambridge (CIE) awarding bodies. International A Level (IAL) learners have a choice between Cambridge (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel.
Exam centres are available all over the world making it easy for private candidates to gain these respectable qualifications.
Below is a list of our A Level Online courses with AQA and Cambridge Assessment International Education (CIE). These subjects can be taken within the UK and will provide UCAS points for University. Once you click onto the individual subject, you will see if there is an option for AS Levels. If you are an International learner, please see our International page. International students are able to sit exams all over the world.
Our eBook Library has over 150 titles to assist you with your study. It only requires a web browser to view books but you can also download books onto Android and iOS devices.
In sixth form or college, you would normally take 3 to 4 subjects and this would give you a good basis of knowledge. Especially if you are looking to progress onto a degree course.
By taking at least three subjects, you will generally build up a good range of UCAS points with your grades. UCAS points are what Universities normally ask for in their entry requirements section for a degree.
You may want to apply for a business degree in which case, some Universities will ask for grades AAA in A Levels. You know that with this requirement, only the three A Levels will be required as this is exactly what they are looking for. Other Universities will say that they require a minimum of 144 UCAS points. In this case, you may want to take four subjects which would relieve the pressure of gaining an “A” in every one of them.
It is a decision that is down to you and we can provide some advice in order to help. It helps to shortlist approximately three Universities and a choice of degrees. We can therefore ensure that you will be working towards the right goals.
Choosing your subjects is a decision that can be overwhelming. Taking the wrong subjects can impact what you do later on. For example, the course you want to enrol onto at University and the Universities that will consider you.
That being said, if you really are unsure of which subjects you want to take, we offer facilitating subjects that will leave you in the best position once, you have completed your courses.
We can offer at least 31 A Level courses to UK students with a choice of at least 22 subjects. Therefore it is important to really think about what it is you want to do.
We have our basic subjects which are ones you may have studied before at GCSE. These consist of History, Chemistry and Physics etc.
We also have variations of subjects you would have covered before. For example you could choose either English Language or English Literature; or you could take A Level Mathematics or Further Mathematics.
We also have a great range of subjects that you may have never covered before and would find quite interesting. For example, A Level Law, Philosophy, Computer Science and Marine Science can be extremely popular subjects.
Some adult learners will decide to do a degree and use online learning to achieve the minimum entry requirements for University. Others enjoy completing these qualifications as a hobby or to refresh existing knowledge.
If you sit your exams in May/June, results are released in August. For exams taken in October/November, your results will be available in January. The centre where you sit your exams will be the place where you obtain your results from.
For AQA, exams are in May/June each year. If you are sitting exams with Cambridge Assessment International Education (CIE), exams are normally in May/June or October/November. There will be some subjects with CIE that only have exams in May/June. Please contact us for more information.
You can also fast track your courses with our college. Learners in the past have completed their studies within a matter of months depending on when the exam series falls. If you would like to discuss fast track options, please contact us.
The practical skills are separate to the overall Advanced Level grade. So, if students do not gain the practical endorsement, they can still receive the A Level qualification at the end of the two years. However, a number of Universities have already stated: if a student is going on to do a Science based degree, they would expect students to have a pass in the practical endorsement. You should check with the relevant University what their exact requirements are.
Please note that CIE and Edexcel have different requirements with regards to the practical endorsement for their science subjects. For more information regarding the practical endoresment, please click here for more information.
Yes they are exactly the same course as what you would complete in College or Sixth Form. The majority of the A Levels we offer do not require coursework and are 100% exam based and you will receive an official A Level qualification on successful completion of exams.
The qualification consists of two years of study (unless you choose to fast-track). In Year 1, students usually take approximately four subjects. These subjects will depend on what learners want to specialise in.
In Year 2, students would normally continue to study the same subjects to complete full A Levels or focus on less, gaining AS Level only. The structure of these qualifications allow learners to study and learn at their own pace. This helps to foster independent thinking and professionalism.
All Universities are different and therefore you would need to check the minimum entry requirements of each individual one for the degree you are looking to enrol onto. In most cases, Universities will ask for Advanced Levels.
If you have not achieved a GCSE or Functional Skills in English and Maths, it may also be worth looking into these. We do offer these courses on our English and Maths page.
A Levels were introduced in England and Wales during 1951. Prior to Advanced Levels, students attending school would need to sit the Higher School Certificate (HSCE) aged 18. This would be approximately two years after taking the School Certificate (replaced with O Levels and CSEs).
The Higher School Certificate (HSCE) covered a broad range of subjects and A Levels allowed learners to specialise in fewer subjects. This would help if learners had a particular subject interest in Science or Arts etc.
A Levels are considered the gold standard of education being accepted by highly respected Universities worldwide. A Levels prove that a learner has been rigorously tested on their knowledge through examinations.
When A Levels were first introduced, the option of online learning wouldn’t have been in existence, however our distance learning programmes have made this prestigious qualification accessible to learners worldwide but also providing great flexibility.
