Cambridge and Edexcel A Levels are international qualifications. Cambridge A-Levels can be taken worldwide including the United Kingdom, whereas Edexcel A-Levels can only be taken outside of the United Kingdom. Both exam boards offer a similar specification however different courses can have a different structure. Both the Cambridge and Edexcel courses are full A Level qualifications.
For the sciences, (biology, chemistry and physics) there are some differences between the specifications. With Edexcel all of the specification is taught in theory and as a result you will be assessed by written exam papers, including the practical element. If you sat the sciences with Cambridge, you will have to perform the practical element at a nearby centre, and this is not optional.

Rights, duties and responsibilities, and freedoms
This is about how the law safeguards rights and freedoms, and imposes obligations on how citizens behave.
Liability
This is the notion of legal responsibility for actions or omissions.
Justice, fairness and morality
This is a broad notion of the purpose of law to bring about a state of fairness. This includes how and why laws are enacted and enforced, and how far the civil and criminal law achieve justice through the use of remedies and sentences. This also relates to how morality and the law interlink and whether changing morality within society is reflected in the law.
Power and its limits
This is about who has power within society and how this power is regulated. This also relates to power within the legal system.
Effectiveness and certainty
This is about the aims of law and whether systems and provisions can meet these aims. This also relates to how citizens are aware of their rights and responsibilities to each other and to the state, and what distinguishes certainty in law.

You have the freedom to start the course at any time and continue your studies at your own pace for a period of up to 2 years from initial registration with the full support of your Tutor. You do not have to wait until September, when a traditional school starts.
Once you enrol, you will have access to our online portal 24/7. Here you will find study materials that have been specially prepared by your tutor, there will be assessments, study notes, eBooks and assignments all relating to your course. Everything in this course is structured to follow the course specification, so all topics and units cover everything you need to learn. Your tutor will mark your work and give you written feedback on areas you need to improve or explain what you have done well. You can also ask your tutor questions if you get stuck on a topic or need something explaining a little more.
When you approach the exams, your tutor will set you a series of practise exam papers so that you can know what to expect in your exam, and you can go into them feeling confident.
You will be provided with eBooks for this course. If you want to purchase physical books in addition, then we can provide you with the book ISBN numbers.
Students will be required to arrange and pay for their examinations (including any practicals they wish to take) at an approved centre. We can provide an extensive list of these centres for you.
Most of our A Levels are available internationally. We offer A Levels with three different awarding bodies, AQA, Cambridge and Edexcel. If the course is only available via the AQA awarding body then of course you can still take our course, however the exams must be taken in the UK.
Cambridge, and Edexcel both have international exam centres, so you may be able to take the exams locally to you. Should you need any help, then please do get in touch and we can assist you on this.
We recommend that you are able to dedicate between 300 and 360 hours’ study time, plus additional time for completing assignments.
Yes, you can work at your own pace to complete this course. Despite having 24 months Tutor Support, once you enrol you will be asked when you wish to complete, and your tutor can work along side you to achieve this.
For example, any A-Level course undertaken has a recommended 360 guided learning hours. Breaking down a 360 hour course into 12 weeks, you would need to be able to commit to 30 hours per week of studying. It is entirely up to you the amount of time you can commit to studying. But with online learning, having the flexibility is a real advantage. This allows you to set the pace. Take your time or Fast-track, get the qualification when you need it.

All of our A Level awarding bodies will give you a full A Level qualification. There will be slight differences between the specifications and what you will actually learn.
For the Science courses (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), there would be a difference in how you sit practical elements.
AQA offers practicals but they are optional.
With the Cambridge exam board, you will be expected to perform the practical elements, they are compulsory. Which means finding an exam centre that has a lab for you to complete this.
With Edexcel, the practical elements are all taught in theory and are assessed via a written exam, therefore you can sit your full exam at a typical Edexcel approved exam centre.
More information about science practicals can be found here.
In most cases yes, what we would ask is for the course codes that you have taken in sixth form/college and we will see if we can match them up.
In most cases you can, If you go to the individual course page you should be able to see if this option is available for you.
It is recommended that you aim to book your examinations 4/6 month prior to sitting them to avoid late entry fee charges. Additionally, we would advise that you contact a few exam centres and find out the best price, as they can fluctuate greatly.
You will sit the same exam as thousands of students across the country in an exam centre, and achieve the same qualification as everyone else. A-Level qualifications are recognised by the world’s best universities and employers, giving students a wide range of options in their education and career.
Just like sitting your A Levels in a school, your tutor will be able to provide you with predicted grades, and references for university applications.
Of course, all of our courses are tailored to cover the entire specification and are split into topics. You will have assignments to complete on every topic where your tutor will give you feedback. If you are struggling with an aspect then you can message your tutor and they can provide more information for you.
As your exams approach, your tutor will set a series of exam papers for you to take, so you can get a feel for the real thing.
If you complete all of your assignments, and your practise exam papers then there is no reason why you shouldn’t achieve a top grade.
