What are A Levels?

AS and Advanced Level qualifications are subject-based academic courses which can be studied remotely through distance learning; where you access learning materials and support, online through the student portal.  

Typically taken by 16–18-year-olds but also available to students of all ages. 

The certificate you will receive will be the same as classroom-based certification and you will follow the same specification but in a more relaxed environment.

How long do A Levels take?

Most learners wish to complete their studies over a two-year period. However, if you feel confident and need your qualification sooner, you can fast-track. 

Learners with prior experience in the subject or who are highly motivated may opt for fast-track and complete within a matter of months. 

You are always in control of your studies.

Exams, Assessment and Practical Endorsements

Advanced Level exams are taken in person at an approved exam centre.  You will need to register as a private candidate at least 5 months prior to the exam series you want to sit exams in. 

We can provide you with help and guidance on finding a suitable exam centre.

Practical Endorsements

Some subjects, such as science, may require a practical endorsement.  This is usually completed through the external exam centre.  Each subject will detail whether the endorsement is required on the individual page.

Find an Exam Centre

Booking your exams well in advance avoids the disappointment of not being able to sit exams at a centre of your choosing. 

To avoid late entry exam fees, we recommend you book your exams in January if you expect to sit them in the May/June series.

Enrol Online

Choose from over 20 subjects and enrol online any time of the year.  There are no fixed dates for intake, giving you the flexibility to start your course whenever you want. 

It may be that you may require the course for career progression, home schooling or university.  

Whatever the reason, we have you covered.

Study at your own pace

Our courses will work around your schedule. 

Access in-depth course materials, eBooks, online resources and assignments 24/7. 

Decide if you want to study full-time or part-time and even take our fast-track option at no extra cost if you have a tight deadline 

Expert Tutor Support

Dedicated Tutors are available to answer any questions you have and provide academic guidance throughout your online course. 

All tutors are experienced and will mark assignments and practise exam papers, providing graded feedback. 

We also have a Tutor Support Department to support Tutors, ensuring you have support from enrolment to exam.
 

Sit exams at an approved centre

When you are ready, you will be able to sit your exams at an approved exam centre as a private candidate. 

Exams for AQA fall in May/June and exams for most Cambridge subjects fall in May/June and October/November (Excluding Classical Studies). 

For Classical Studies, they only hold one exam sitting and details of this will be on the course subject page.
