A
Levels are the gold standard of the British education system
and our abilities, even in later life, are still measured
against it.
Distance learning students are among the most successful
candidates at A Level. This is partly because of the
flexibility of the examination system, but also because A
Level study requires a broader understanding of a subject,
and distance learning is particularly suited to doing this.
A Level Structure
Each A Level is split into two halves—the AS Level and the
A2 Level. Whilst both halves cover approximately the same
amount of material, the conceptually harder elements will
nearly always be found in the A2. Generally, each half of
the A Level will be split into three units. Each unit
matches a corresponding exam. Examinations are normally in
June, although you may be able to arrange to sit some parts
of the A Level in January.
A Level Set Texts for Home Study
Most of Virtual and Open Learning Academy Ltd A Level
courses have a recommended accompanying textbook which
students will need to obtain. In addition to the recommended
text, each course will have suggested reading to help you
achieve a broader understanding of your subject.
Special Requirements for A Level Study
Most of our A Levels have special entry requirements. Please
see individual subject information for details.
