A Level Courses - Prepare for your A Level exams

A Level Courses: Further your Study or Career

A Level courses open doors for individuals looking to pursue university education and/or enhance their careers. In the UK, A Level qualifications (and equivalents) are generally required for university entrance and are usually taken after GCSE education at secondary school. However, A Level courses are regularly taken by people of all ages for a variety of reasons, be it to retrain in a new career, develop existing professions, gain qualifications that may not have been completed earlier, or to expand their knowledge in an area of interest.  

Course Content and Qualifications

A Level courses are usually more theory-based than practical, delivering a high-level of academic knowledge through traditional study. Individuals can find A Level courses in a variety of core academic subjects and more specialist or contemporary topics. 

An A Level typically take two years to complete and is split up into two parts: AS Level for the first year and A2 Level for the second year. To achieve an A Level qualification, students will usually need to take an examination on completion of preparatory study or coursework. A Level courses cover the necessary content required to thoroughly prepare for examinations, which will need to be arranged with a local exam centre.

There is a wide range of open A Level courses available, with the majority offered as online distance courses. This format is ideal for working professionals looking to complete their A Levels at their own pace and in their own time. Evening classes are also available.

International Recognition

A Levels are accredited worldwide, meaning most countries accept the qualification as a way of gaining acceptance to a college or university. To attend almost any study programme offered by colleges and universities in the UK, Ireland and around the world, an A level can make the application process easier to complete.

Training courses in many fields in countries as diverse as Pakistan, the Seychelles and Singapore also use A Levels as part of their own educational system. A Level courses are useful for international students looking to access a British-based university education.
