While there are no formal requirements to study A Level Computer Science LiveSchool, we recommend that you have completed an appropriate Level 2 IGCSE IT course prior to your study and have a strong grasp of English and Maths.

Included with your LiveSchool A Level Computer Science Course is:

• 24/7 access to the LiveSchool learning platform so you can study anytime
• ALL learning documentation (including text books)
• Access to media-rich interactive learning resources
• 120 hours of A Level Computer Science online lessons (including recordings)
• Lively and interactive lessons, where you can engage in with other students
• Dedicated course tutor
• Tutor-marked assignments feedback
• 24 months priority tutor support
• Tutor-marked past papers
• Revision support and examination preparation

As part of your A Level Computer Science LiveSchool Course you will be required to complete regular assessments which we call HomeWork.

While your HomeWork does not count towards your final grade, it is used to monitor your progress and ability.

All HomeWork has been designed to prepare you for your examinations, and questions are based on examination style questions.

Your HomeWork has been designed to match a specific A level Computer Science LiveSchool session, so it is easy to go back and revisit the relevant lesson if you get stuck.

The most important part of your Computer Science A Level course (apart from you) is your dedicated tutor.

All LiveSchool tutors have extensive academic experience and have taught Computer Science in the classroom as well as online.

You will be assigned a tutor as soon as you enrol on your course who will support you for 24 months during your studies. You can contact your tutor via email, messaging or telephone with any questions.

24 months tutor support included with this course.
