A level Maths and Mechanics by distance learning - the course

The Maths A level course includes two major components – AS level and A2 level. The AS level is a qualification in its own right and may be studied for on a one-year distance learning course.

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 includes thirteen Tutor-marked Assignments (known as TMAs). The A2 course has a further eleven TMAs.

The Syllabus

This course prepares candidates for the AQA Mathematics AS level syllabus 5361, for examination in 2012 and later years. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 6361. The full Advanced level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as the one best suited for Distance Learning.

Assessment is by three written papers for the AS level and three written papers for the A2 level.
