Any suggestion for online a level courses? Supported at home. DD can’t be in a school environment at the moment and we just want the option to keep a couple of subjects going at her own pace

Interhigh
Wolsely Hall

If you have documentation that your DD can't be at school on health grounds, and you have an ehcp, you may be able to get this funded as an eotas package.

Another question - can these courses be started anytime or do they only start in September?

Another alternative might be to study with Open University. If your daughter later wants to go to a bricks and mortar uni, some of them will accept OU courses in lieu of A levels as meeting their entry requirements to start degree study with them. It can be tricky with funding though, because there is a risk of exhausting student finance eligibility too early. Worth a look though.

My daughter is doing A levels with NEC and Wolsey Hall. You can start them at anytime of the year.

Why are you using 2 providers? Do they arrange the exams?

A lot of people seem to use NEC, Wolsey hall or pembrokeshire online college.

If it's science/maths you're interested in, a free resource is www.homeedstem.com

Some providers do classes in one subject, e.g.
computer science : learntec
chemistry : candochem
physics : physics with keith
biology : south west science school

We use two providers because they each offer different exam boards and subjects. You have to arrange exam sitting yourself.

My daughter did all her IGCSE/GCSE exams as a private candidate.

Have you considered American AP exams, they are equivalent to A 'level but only last a year. Four of mine have been home-schooled all the way through and have gone to university with these exams.
