Fast-Track A-Levels

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a fast-track A-Level course in Mathematics and Physics that can be completed in one year. It needs to be a full A-Level qualification. I've been looking at NEC, Open Study College etc. But I am quite scared with the reviews I have found on here saying that there tends to not be much support. Has anyone had this experience or recommend any specific programmes?


Thank you and any advice will be greatly appreciated

Why not just enter yourself privately? Anyone can do an A-level. You just enter yourself.

I’ve considered that, but I want structured teaching to ensure I cover everything properly, especially for Physics. Studying independently would mean finding all the resources myself, and I’d prefer a structured course with support to stay on track. I am also aiming for an A/A*, considering that I will definitely find these subjects hard, I think it'd be best to have a tutor to ask questions to and clarify topics

I do appreciate this and have looked in to actual colleges. Unfortunately, I am in Manchester and there are very few, if any, colleges that offer 1 year courses like this which is why I've chosen to doing them online if possible
