    Would that course by any chance be helping you becoming a pilot?

    It's 50% of an A-level. It's lower, in my school we do a full year for As and the next year we have an option to do the remaining 50% to get the full A-level qualification.

    yes SupremeNunchucks is correct AS is lower than A2 which is why if you only complete AS level the max grade you are eligible for is an A not an A*

    Was always interested in aviation and flight as a kid. Origionally wanted to be a pilot, but eye sight wasn't good enough. So opted for the engineering route
