Cardiff Academy A Level Courses

Two-Year A-Level

Suitable for: Students wishing to repeat AS & Students currently in Year 11

Small class sizes [maximum of 8 students], expert tuition from subject specialists and an enormous amount of individual support ensures that students entering The Academy in year 12 can normally expect to achieve excellent grades at AS first time around.

As all students know, entry to University is based largely upon AS grades achieved at the end of year 12. Because of this, many students who have underachieved at AS elsewhere often make the entirely logical decision to re-sit their AS year.
For those who decide on this choice the uplift in grades achieved at AS by transferring to Cardiff Academy is often considerable.

One-Year AS/A2/A-Level

Suitable for:
Students wishing to improve their A-Level grades in one or more subjects in one year.
Students wishing to transfer to Cardiff Academy for Year 13 [A2]
Students wishing to take one or more AS or A-Level subjects from scratch in one year

At Cardiff Academy, it is possible for students to improve their overall grade at A-level in one year by attending both AS and A2 classes each week. This gives the best possible chance of improvement because it allows all AS and most A2 modules to be re-taken in both January and June. This same flexibility also allows students to study AS or A-Level subjects from scratch in just one year.
