AQA GCSE Computer Science as a private candidate

Hi, Having real problems finding somewhere that my son can take AQA Computer Science GCSE as a private candidate it seems the practical component is the issue. So far have been on JQA to search for exams centres but as soon as they hear its AQA / there's a practical component, they say they are unable to proceed. Wondering whether he will need to change examining boards. Anyone had this issue and found a way round it? Many thanks

The overwhelming majority of home educators sit Cambridge International GCSE for computer science because of this issue.
