Can I just take the AS or just the A2 course?
Yes, you are able to take half an A Level. To take the A2 only
you must have completed the AS firstly on the current syl-
labus. (Please note: a syllabus change occurred in September
2008. This affected all subjects except for Mathematics.
Therefore, students who wish to complete just the A2 part
must have completed the relevant AS part since September
2008). The fee for AS or A2 only is £215.00.

Is Distance Learning cost effective?
Many people choose to attend evening courses,
part time courses or full time courses. The costs
of these are typically very high in comparison to
distance learning, especially when you take into
account the costs and time incurred with transport
to and from the course.
