Getting Started
learndirect is a national leader in distance learning courses. That means you don’t have wait for the post, as all of your course materials can be found in a convenient online portal.
As soon as you enrol with us you can start studying your History A Level. There’s no need to wait for ‘term’ to start. There are no term dates or class times, just your desire to learn and achieve.
This gives you the flexibility to study when it works for you. You can plan your studies around your existing commitments rather than the other way around. The only specific deadline to work towards is your exam – exam sittings are held once per year in May or June.
But distance learning doesn’t mean you’re doing it by yourself. From the moment you start your course, you will have a tutor assigned to help you. They will provide advice and guidance during your studies. They will also be marking your assignments and giving you comprehensive feedback.
This enables you to make continual, positive progress throughout.
