At ICS Learn, most of our A Level qualifications are awarded by AQA with a select number awarded by Edexcel:

• AQA: Over half of all A Level qualifications are awarded by AQA each year. Their qualifications are taught in 30 countries worldwide.
• Edexcel: Part of Pearson, the UK’s largest awarding body, Edexcel qualifications are studied by more than 3.4 million students globally.

No matter which awarding body accredits your A Level with us, your qualification will be fully recognised by colleges, universities, and employers worldwide – just like if you studied in school!

The number of UCAS points an A Level is worth depends on the grade you achieve. Here's a quick breakdown: 

• A* = 56 UCAS points
• A = 48 UCAS points
• B = 40 UCAS points
• C = 32 UCAS points
• D = 24 UCAS points
• E = 16 UCAS points

If you're studying two or three A Levels, simply add up the points for each grade you achieve. Keep in mind that some qualifications (like AS Levels) will also carry UCAS points at different values. 

While your A Level course is delivered entirely online, you may need to purchase additional resources, such as textbooks or equipment (for example, a geometry set). These are not included in the course fee, but many textbooks are available second-hand online at a reduced price.

Whether you study online or in a classroom, all A Level students must sit their exams in person at the same time as all the other students in the UK.

Exam centres are usually schools or colleges that submit their own students for the same exam. You'll book to sit your A Level exams at your nearest exam centre roughly six months before your chosen exam date.

However, please note that for our A Level History, English Language and English Literature courses, we are the 'entering' centre for your exams. This means you must find and book an exam centre (your 'host centre') before applying for exam entry with us. This will typically be halfway through your course and before the entry deadline.
