We will admit Candidates for AS Level Courses who have a minimum of 4 GCSE’s at grade C and above. For Biology this should ideally include a grade C or above in Maths and English. It is also assumed that students have obtained a grade C or above at (I)GCSE Biology or Double Award Science. However, it is possible to study the course without this background bWe will admit Candidates for AS Level Courses who have a minimum of 4 GCSE’s at grade C and above. For Biology this should ideally include a grade C or above in Maths and English.
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they should keep in regular contact. All tutors are fully qualified experienced teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. Most work from home and are able to offer flexible contact times. The tutor will contact students with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan. They will also let the student know the best ways and times for contact.
There is no limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA's) in every course. These help the student to consolidate their learning and prepare for examinations.
All tutors have a Freephone 0800 telephone number and most will have Skype capabilities. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.
