Where can I get A and AS level exams?

I've been told by my school that they won't accept my european highschool diploma and that they'll need A and AS levels for maths, english language and information technology.
I've used my own schools website to find places to get these exams done and none of them accept private candidates in Italy.
Do you guys know of ANY shcools in Italy or anywhere close where i could take these A and AS level exams?
thanks a lot

I have found the following:
https://www.newschoolrome.com/secondary/a-levels

To find a comprehensive list of schools, you can sometimes check the CAIE website:
https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/?Location=Italy
However, some of these schools only cater to iGCSE, so you would need to check individually (there are 385, and I am not going through all of them). It's usually the international schools with English sounding names that do offer iAL though.

I'm having problems finding a similar list under EdExcel: https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/understanding-our-qualifications/find-a-pearson-centre.html?Country=Italy, but you might be lucky to find one or two in Italy that offers iALs.

Whilst OxfordAQA is available in Europe, they make it almost impossible to find an appropriate centre or school, so you would need to contact them yourself. See:
https://www.oxfordaqa.com/news/where-is-oxfordaqa-available/
https://www.oxfordaqa.com/get-in-touch/

Your best bet is with CAIE, but I would try to look at the other 2 exam boards to be sure.

Edit: this has been corrected as per @MindMax2000 below. It seems that international A-Levels May work differently. I apologise for the mistake.

Just to note: you will likely only need to sit the A-Level exams. AS qualifications are now separate and standalone.

The International A Levels still follow the AS and A2 system.
The UK A Levels that we are both familiar with are only available within the UK (as per UK government requirements). iALs are available outside of the UK (and in this case Italy).

Thank you for correcting me, I have edited my post.
