For distance learning, flexibility is the key to the course, you work at your own pace, at a time suitable to yourself, using specialist course materials with a dedicated tutor, email support and regular contact sessions.
The A level course is usually over two years and consists of an A/S qualification at the end of the first year, followed by the full A level at the end of the second year. However the beauty of distance learning is that YOU decide the pace.

Programme of study
We follow the OCR programme of study and examinations, and the course is designed to furnish students with an understanding of how the law operates in England and Wales. Whether completing the A/S or A level, the aim is to provide students with knowledge they will find both useful and enlightening.
IMPORTANT ENTRY INFORMATION
The United Kingdom has approximately 300 examination centres, based usually in local schools. It should not be difficult to find one nearby. It is important to note that it is the responsibility of the student to enter themselves for the examinations and also to deal with the examination centres directly, not through Learn the Law Ltd. Nevertheless we will be on hand to assist you with relevant information where possible.
Please also note that the costs of entering examinations (exam fees) and any potential subsequent administrative costs are not included in the course price and are a matter between the student and the examination centre they choose.
GCSE law is also available – please contact for details
