Computer Science A level

I’m wondering whether i could be able to do the full computer science A level completely self studied, do you know if that’s possible? i signed up and found a place i can do the exam as a private candidate but they said they wouldn’t be able to do the coursework part of the a level for me, is there anyway i can still get this done as a private candidate?

Hi! i cant actually help at all but im just writing to ask where you found the place to do the exam as a private candidate? my school doesnt let me do the alevel without the GCSE and I've been trying to think of alternatives

also where do you find resources for your self study, and how are you planning to manage time and workload with your other alevels?

thanks in advance!

i found out it’s not really worth doing a level comp sci and it’s more worth doing certifications like ccna for example, i get my resources mostly from youtube guides there are sooooo many. One channel that i really like is called network chuck, he covers a lot about the ccna including more complex topics like subnetting and other stuff. Honestly if you wanna learn anything you can just search it up on youtube there’s so many IT related youtube videos that teach you so much stuff it’s crazy.
