Distance Learning Maths and Statistics A level - The Course

The Maths and Stats a level is split into two major components - AS and A2. The AS level can be sat in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

The AS Level has thirteen tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs). The A2 level has a further ten TMAs.
