A Level homeschool enquiries

Hello. I am homeschooled for A levels and I’m doing History and English literature and chemistry.
I have a few concerns and I would really appreciate if someone helped me by answering as it is stressing me out a lot.
I don’t know whether to take my exams this year or do them in the 2 year course
I can’t find a cheap place to do my A-levels (birmingham)
How can I get my NEA(non examination assessments) marked??

Hi, I was homeschooled for my History and English Language A levels. You need to find an exam centre, and contact them to give a list of their approved tutors. Assuming you're doing AQA, it will be 10 hours required moderation for the NEA, (£400 approx. total). You start NEAs in your second year and there's a deadline gor approving the History NEA (Sept/Oct I think). You can't start on the NEA without them bc then they can't be sure it's your work (hence the ten hr lessons to supervise that you're A) following rules and B) on the right track. At the end they will mark the NEA. Though you will have to be very clear woth the tutors when you contact them about what is entailed.
You need to do the two year course, don't do them this year!
Sadly £400/500+ per subject is usual for exam centres.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi thank you for replying , I have some questions
I didn't understand what you meant by the ten hour lessons? what does this mean

So, if you're doing English Language as an Alevel for example, you need to do Non Exam Assessed coursework.
Normally this would be done by a teacher but if you're homeschooled you legally need a registered tutor to moderate your work. This is so they can give you a recommended grade then send your work in, confirming that they're confident that you did this on your own.
Legally you need to have ten hours of sessions with the moderator, spread across the whole time you're doing your NEA.
You cannot start your NEA on your own. Your first hour session would be choosing a topic to do your coursework on, the moderator would guide you but ultimately it's your work. Then each session after that is to check that you're going in the right direction and that you're actually progressing with your coursework, not cheating.
You could pay for more than teb hours if you wanted but the legal requirement is 10 hours.
Really hope that explains it!!

Thank you soo much for replying again
are these ten hours done online or in person? and when would you reccomend I start the process?
also how did you find a tutor?

I should probably add that if you choose a tutor, you MUST make it clear that they're acting as your MODERATOR.
For example, you can't contact a random tutor to do it, because they're only approved to be a tutor. You need a tutor who is acting as a moderator for those ten sessions.
Alternatively, you could have a regular tutor (just to help/tutor you), with a moderator on top to do the ten sessions. But this would be super expensive and unnecessary.
I really hope the way I've put it isn't confusing. Do let me know if it is

Hii thank you again
I’m just gonna keep asking you questions bc ur the one person I actually understood from
How did you know that what you were studying is correct when homeschooled? Because I’m using the specifications for each subject (history, eng lit) and I’m just wondering if thats enough to know what I’ll be studying and I’m kinda paranoid if theres anything else thats not on the specification that I have to study.
Thank youu
