A-Level Exam Entry for Private & External Candidates
Looking for full-time A-Level teaching instead? This page covers exam entry only — registering to sit the exam without our classroom course. If you want structured, taught A-Level lessons with a subject tutor, see our A-Level Full Time courses →
Registering to Sit the Exam, Nothing More
A-Level exam entry means we register you as a private candidate with AQA, Edexcel or OCR and provide the venue, invigilation and administration for exam day. It does not include a taught course.
Who This Is For
Students who have studied independently, through an online provider, or with a tutor elsewhere; adults returning to education; and anyone who has left school or college but still needs to sit or resit an A-Level paper.
Exam Papers Only
Your fee covers registration, the exam board's entry cost, and sitting the exam under proper supervision. If you'd also like revision help, our tutors can be booked separately.
A-Level Subjects Offered to External Candidates
We accept private A-Level entries in the subjects we teach in-house, so genuine subject expertise is on hand if you need it.
Mathematics
Full A-Level entry across the specification.
Biology
Exam papers, with practical endorsement support available in our laboratory.
Chemistry
Exam papers, with practical endorsement support available in our laboratory.
Physics
Exam papers, with practical endorsement support available in our laboratory.
Computer Science
Full A-Level entry, including support for the non-exam assessment component.
Facilities Behind Your Exam Entry
Even as an exam-only candidate, you have access to the same well-equipped centre our own A-Level students study in.
On-Site Science Laboratory
Biology, Chemistry and Physics candidates can use our laboratory to complete or top up the practical work needed for the practical endorsement.
PhD-Qualified Tutors
Optional revision support is delivered by tutors with postgraduate qualifications in their subject.
Small Group Support
Any revision sessions you book alongside your entry are capped at 5 students.
Central Birmingham Location
Easily reached for exam day, with a calm, properly invigilated room away from the pressure of a large exam hall.
Resit Support
Many of our private A-Level candidates are resitting a paper to lift a grade for university or apprenticeship offers. We keep the process simple.
No Need to Go Back to Your Old Sixth Form
Once you've left school, sixth form or college, resitting through your previous centre isn't always straightforward. We register you directly as a private candidate.
Carrying Forward Practical Endorsement
If you've already achieved your practical endorsement in Biology, Chemistry or Physics, this can usually be carried over to your resit so you only need to focus on the written papers.
How to Register
Registering as a private A-Level candidate with us takes three simple steps.
Get in Touch
Tell us which subject, exam board and units or papers you need to sit.
Confirm Your Entry
We confirm the fee and entry deadline, take your ID and details, and submit your entry to the exam board.
