A-Level Art as a private candidate

I’m wanting to retake A-level Art under the WJEC exam board but I am struggling to find any centres. Anyone know of any? Is this even an option under the WJEC exam board? I’ve managed to find centres to accommodate my other subjects but it’s a struggle to find ones that take up art in general.

Hey @mushmashed!

Have you tried contacting local schools/colleges to see if they accept private candidates?

A-Level Art is quite a tricky subject to study privately as it's very coursework-heavy (hence why lots of exam centres don't offer it). Your best bet is approaching a school who studies A-Level Art under WJEC and asking if they'd consider private candidacy if you cover all examination costs.

Best of luck with your search,
