2 Things- A-Levels/External Candidate

I need to do one or two subjects as a private candidate because I only took 1 a-level before. Problem is I emailed local colleges and they don't allow external candidates, is there a list somewhere of places that do??

Other thing is I need to know which subjects have no coursework or practical examinations so I can do them at home :smile:

Any help asap is wicked thanks. :biggrin:

Write to your chosen exam board for a list of the exam centres that may be willing to accept you. You will need to contact the school or college yourself and pay your own exam feee as well as any additional fees. You will find the following link useful:

Some exams have an alternative written paper instead of coursework. However, different exam boards have different requirements. At the start of each specification it says whether it is open to private candidates. Usually those which have a big emphasis on practical work are not open to private candidates, for obvious reasons. However, if you were to attend a school or college to complete the practical work in and you could find a suitably qualified person willing to testify to thias then it might not be a problem.

If you post which subjects you are interested in studying at AS/A-Level, then someone on TSR might be able to say whether you can do them. There is too wide a range of subjects to produce a detailed list of non-coursework courses on thia forum.

Good Luck
