Online/Private A Levels.

Hi I am currently studying Maths, English Literature and Psychology A Levels and I was wondering if I should take an online A Level course. I would like to do one as I am unable to switch sixth forms to do the subjects I want to do.I either want to do a course in Physics or Computer Science. I want to know if this is a good idea and if I should do it for two years now or take a gap year and do it.

Let me know what I should do!

There are colleges that operate online such as ‘Openstudycollege’ that provide either a one year speed course or a two year course to be able to study A Levels at home (distance learning), they provide you with the resources and tutors to study an A Level and they give the same qualifications as doing A Levels in an in person sixth form/college would.

Hi I’m trying to do online courses too but I’ve seen the reviews and some of them are really bad I’ve also read that sometimes they don’t even predict grades when they claim they will and the communication is excellent until you have paid and then they stop responding and the resources are small PowerPoints. I’m trying to find an online course that Dosnt steal my money

Use ICS Learn if they offer the course you're looking for. They're amazing and tutors know their stuff. Open Study college is not worth is. Exactly as the bad reviews say it is. But try to avoid a subject with practicals, its very expensive as a private student and may be difficult to find somewhere which offers that as well
