I posted below about my son retaking Computer Science Alevel. He thinks you can only do CAIE Computer Science if he had to completely re start Computer Science as an online learner and is worried it might not be as well regarded.
He is now 20 so can’t go back to an FE college.
You'll find discussions about A Levels and universities on our Further Education forum.

Do you unis have the same regard for CAIE Alevels?

It might be worth checking other FE colleges maybe? I taught in FE for many years and it was very usual to have students of all ages 16 and up on A level courses; some students decades older!

No it’s a safeguarding thing. They don’t let adults onto Alevel courses. He doesn’t want a Comp Science course . He has a B in maths but wants to retake that too and to do economics A level from scratch. So computer science and maths retakes and economics from scratch over 2 years . Computer science seems to be very hard to retake though. Only a CAIE and he’s worried unis won’t like it. It’s so annoying as he has his coursework grade a B for AQA. Don’t understand why he can’t just retake that.
