Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need any GCSEs to do our online A-Level History course as there are no entry requirements, however, they would be useful. Please note that if you wish to progress to university, you will need GCSEs or a Level 2 equivalent qualification. We also provide these qualifications so speak to our team about how we can help you meet your university entry requirements when you enrol on this course.
A-Level History is widely regarded as a strong qualification for university admission in the UK. Universities appreciate the skills cultivated through the course, such as critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and effective written communication. A-Level History demonstrates a student's ability to engage with complex ideas, analyse evidence, and construct coherent arguments—essential skills in various academic disciplines. Moreover, for those considering a degree in history or related fields, A-Level History provides a solid foundation and demonstrates a genuine interest in the subject. Additionally, universities often value the broader skills developed, making A-Level History a versatile qualification suitable for diverse courses and demonstrating a student's capacity for in-depth research and understanding of historical contexts.
A-Level History unlocks a treasure trove of possibilities! It's a springboard for degrees in history, law, journalism, and even international relations, prepping you for careers like teacher, researcher, museum curator, or journalist. But its hidden gem is the skillset: critical thinking, analysis, and communication. These transferable skills make you a sought-after talent in fields like finance, government, and even the creative industries.
You can make A-Level History revision both effective and enjoyable by injecting creativity into your study routine. Begin by crafting a visually appealing revision schedule with colourful themes, transforming it into a personalised roadmap for success. You could try turning key points into catchy rhymes or mnemonics to make them more memorable. Create engaging flashcards that incorporate humour so they are more likely to stick in your mind. If you’re the theatrical type, you could try doing some historical re-enactments, whether through online simulations or acting out key events with friends, to bring the past to life. Another great tip is to embrace the power of technology by exploring interactive history apps and games that turn learning into an enjoyable activity. By infusing fun and creativity into your revision techniques, you can transform A-Level History preparation into an enjoyable journey of discovery.
Yes! Your A-Level History exams are included in this course option. After passing each end-of-unit assignment and your mock exams successfully, you will be ready to take your exam.

Excellent support and guidance

I spoke with a gentleman called Nathan today. He was very friendly and took me through all of the available options for the course I am interested in. He explained everything in great detail, made sure I understood everything and was very patient with me during the call. He ensured that all of my questions were answered and that I felt confident about the next steps before ending the call. His professionalism, knowledge and approachable manner made the whole process much less daunting. Thank you, Nathan, for all your help!

Laura Campbell Helped Bring My Dream to Life

I cannot recommend Laura Campbell highly enough. From our very first conversation, she took the time to truly understand my goals, aspirations, and long-term vision of building a business working with dogs. Rather than simply recommending a course, Laura carefully explained the different canine qualifications available, the relevant regulations, accreditation routes, and how each qualification could support different career pathways within the industry. Her knowledge was exceptional, and it was clear she genuinely understands both the education sector and the canine profession. She answered every question with patience, honesty, and enthusiasm, ensuring I felt confident in making the right decision for my future. At no point did I feel rushed, Laura was genuinely invested in helping me choose the pathway that was right for me. What stood out most was her genuine passion for animals. That passion came through in every part of our conversation and made the experience both enjoyable and inspiring. She helped bring my dream of working in a career I truly love into focus, giving me confidence that I am taking the right steps to build a successful future doing something I am passionate about. Laura is knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She is a real credit to Learndirect and an outstanding ambassador for the organisation. Thank you, Laura, for your patience, encouragement, and for helping me take the first step towards making my dream a reality.
