Welcome to A Level Computer Science Year 2! This course follows a week by week study plan which allows you to cover the advanced topics in the A Level Specification, revise for the final exams, and obtain support & marking for your NEA (coursework) as a private candidate.
Live lessons: Fridays 9am – 10am

As A Level Computer Science is now a linear course, if your wish to study all topics, please start with the AS/Year 1 course, or ensure that you have covered the foundation topics before commencing these advanced classes.
As this course includes NEA authentication, attendance at the topic weeks 1 – 13 classes is mandatory unless alternative authentication has been arranged. Where NEA marking is not required, please use the code NONEA at checkout for a 10% fee discount.
