A level Courses by Distance Learning

A level is the gold standard of the British education system and our abilities, even in later life, are still measured against it.

Distance learning students are among the most successful candidates on A level courses. This is partly because of the flexibility of the examination system, but also because studying an A level course requires a broader understanding of a subject, and distance learning is particularly suited to this approach to learning.

A level Course Structure

Each A level course is split into two parts: the AS level and the A2 level. Whilst both cover approximately the same amount of material, the conceptually harder elements will nearly always be found at A2. Generally, AS and A2 will each consist of two units. Each unit leads to a corresponding exam. Examinations are normally in June, although you may be able to arrange to sit some parts of an A level in January.

A level Set Texts for Home Study

Most of Oxford Open Learning’s A level courses recommend a textbook which students will need to obtain. By clicking on any of the book images in this web site, you will be taken to the relevant page on the Amazon (books) website where you can order a copy of the text. Some courses include access to online resources.

In addition to the recommended text, each course includes a list of suggested further reading to help you achieve a broader understanding of your subject.
