Welcome to A Level Computer Science! Your course follows a week by week study plan which allows you to progress onto the next section at a pace to suit you. As A Level Computer Science is now a linear course, this course covers the topics that would traditionally be studied in year 1 and covers the content for the AS exams should you choose to sit AS instead of the full A Level.
If you need extra help from your tutor as you work through each section, please send me a message using the Q&A at the front of the course, or using the comments on each lesson.
