full A level computer science course

Hi. I am currently in a little predicament with my college. All computer science spaces were filled just before i was enrolled. I was really keen on doing a level computer science. I am thinking about studying it outside of school (distance learning/remote). Could anyone recommend some places that do A Level Computer Science courses online?

Many regards

I have made it to a fairly nice college, which I do not want to leave. My area is such that I would have to commute 45mins+ even to a fairly rubbish one. Many I contacted dont even offer the course.

Have a google of 'Computer Science A-level online' and see if there's anything that would tickle you fancy. Of course, you would have to pay (probably a good few hundred pounds + exam and nea fee).

You've just started college, so it's likely (but no guaranteed) that in a few weeks there will be some shuffling as people find the course isn't what they thought it was, or they want to pursue other things etc. This may mean you could possibly switch.

If you're worried about not having it to study at degree level, then stop worrying now. You do not need CS at A'level to study it as a degree (just maths and potentially FM for 'top' universities.
