Dunstable College offers A Levels in a host of different subject areas. Studying A Levels at College also enables you to combine vocational qualifications with the academic subjects.
A Levels are highly regarded qualifications, which offer many opportunities from entering higher education to gaining a better job. A full A Level consists of an AS Level and an A2 Level. An AS Level is a valuable qualification in its own right, but many people complete the A2 Level also, particularly those wishing to progress to university. Usually, you will study up to four subjects at AS Level and three at A2 Level; however, alternative programmes of AS and A2 Levels are possible and may be discussed with your tutors.
We also offer various GCSE's which you can study for the first time or to improve on previous results from school, on either an individual basis or in conjunction with other qualifications.
These courses form part of the Centre for Professional Development department, which also offers higher education courses, enabling students to progress through College to achieve a higher education qualification.
