What is the

AS Level

curriculum?

The International British curriculum's A Level is an extensive two-year programme culminating in a globally recognised examination typically taken at around 18 years of age.

At CambriLearn, these two years are divided into two levels; the initial year is covered within the AS-Level courses, followed by the A-Level courses in the second year. This unique structure affords students the flexibility to either opt for AS-Level examinations exclusively or commit to the comprehensive, full A-Level programme spanning two years, depending on their academic goals.

Tailored for students aged 16 to 19 years, the British Advanced curriculum (A Level) is strategically designed to offer a rigorous and in-depth academic experience. It serves as a crucial preparatory phase for those aspiring to pursue higher education and excel at university-level studies, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge for a successful transition into advanced academic pursuits. 

Students who plan to study at university are encouraged to confirm entrance requirements directly with the relevant university faculty offices ahead of making decisions on their AS-Level subject choices. It is also important to confirm any specific university exemption requirements in addition to university faculty entrance requirements.

CambriLearn offers Subject Choice Assessments by a qualified educational psychologist, at an additional fee, to help students choose the subjects that would best suit their individual personality and strengths.

Our AS Level courses cater to a wide range of interests and further studying pursuits, ensuring a well-rounded and specialised education. Students can engage with two curricula at this level, namely Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) and Pearson Edexcel. Both curricula are aligned with the International British curriculum and therefore the qualifications are accepted in conjunction with each other. Subjects offered at CambriLearn on the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) curriculum at AS Level are English First Language; Pure Maths – Paper 1 and Paper 2; Mechanics – Maths Paper 4; Statistics – Maths Paper 5; Afrikaans; Biology; Chemistry; Physics; Accounting; Business Studies; Economics; History – International Relations; History – European History, and Geography. For Pearson Edexcel, we offer Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. This expansive selection empowers students to explore their interests and aspirations, laying the groundwork for future academic and professional pursuits.

Course Outlines

Each AS-Level course provides students with a detailed Course Outline and weekly schedule, guiding them through the coursework, tasks and exercises. Also provided is the syllabus document, confirming all the topics to be covered and how the material will be assessed in the final examinations. Courses are structured to allow students to work at their own pace. All learning material is provided online on the student dashboard in an easy-to-follow lesson structure, supplemented where applicable by prescribed textbooks. Students also have access to teacher-led, live online lessons and a comprehensive library of recorded sessions. These resources, meticulously designed by professionally trained teachers, are invaluable and can be revisited when additional time is required on any challenging topics, as well as for exam revision. 

Throughout the courses, students will submit a series of assignments and tests to determine their progress and gauge exam readiness. These assessments are to be submitted to the student dashboard for grading by an experienced CambriLearn teacher (Standard and Premium package). Personalised feedback is provided on graded papers equipping students with tailored guidance for continual improvement in their academic performance.

Academic progress can be closely monitored through CambriLearn's Student Tracker, which is also accessible to parents, guardians and tutors through their linked profiles. This tracker gives a clear, real-time overview of lesson progress, student submissions and current grades, enabling additional support to be activated where required. 

Keeping track of lesson and task scheduling is facilitated through the interactive dashboard calendar, which allows students, parents, guardians and tutors to view all upcoming tasks by day, week or month at a glance. 

AS Level

Specific Outcomes

CambriLearn’s AS-Level courses prepare students for the rigorous, internationally recognised final examinations set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE)/Pearson Edexcel. Courses span 34 weeks, providing students with ample time within their 12-month subscription to prepare for their final exams, which are held in two (2) examination series per year in May/June and October/November.

This flexible structure allows students to progress at their chosen pace, accommodating for additional time that might be required to become fully comfortable with the subject matter. Successfully completing the AS-Level courses and achieving passing grades not only establishes a strong educational foundation but also propels students forward to complete a full A-Level qualification. (Note that AS- and A-Level examinations must be completed within two (2) years in order to obtain an A-Level qualification.) Final exams are written at independent, accredited CAIE/Pearson Edexcel exam centres. Students will need to register with an examination centre well ahead of time (4 months) and confirm fees and timetables with them directly.

These exams are set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) and will be assessed and marked by accredited markers. The final statement of results and certificate will be issued via the examination centres. Please note that some subjects are only examined in certain exam series. For example, Afrikaans (CAIE) is only examined in the October/November series each year and Pearson Edexcel Computer Science is only examined in the May/June series each year. Be sure to check availability with your registered examination centre.
