You are not alone! You will be assigned a personal 1:1 tutor on your day of enrolment. Your tutor will remain by your side, throughout your learning journey until you get qualified. Students can communicate with their tutor in real time using the online messaging system. Student queries are answered within 1 working day. When support is delivered online ALL queries and responses are recorded in your profile so that you can refer back whenever required. This is particularly useful during revision periods.

When ready we arrange your exam. We have agreements with exam centres all over the UK. Our students also take advantage of preferential pricing due to the volume of students we channel to exam centres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Visit our full FAQ

Is Business hard in A Level?

A Level Business can be challenging, as it covers various topics like marketing, finance, and management theories. It requires critical thinking, analysis, and application of concepts to real-world scenarios. However, with consistent study, effective time management, and practice with past papers, students can grasp the material and succeed. At CloudLearn, we make sure that our course is structured in such a way that you are guaranteed to pass so long as you follow our guidance.

Do universities like Business A Level?

Yes, universities generally value A Level Business, especially for business-related degrees. It demonstrates understanding of key concepts like economics, marketing, and management. However, some highly competitive universities may prefer traditional subjects like Mathematics or Economics. Check specific university entry requirements to ensure Business A Level aligns with your chosen degree program.

Can I do Business A Level in one year?

To do A-Level Business in one year, we would recommend that you enrol on our online A-Level Business course here at CloudLearn (including the exam at your preferred exam centre). This can be done at the Study Plan section of our website. A-Level exams are just once per year in the summer, so you would start your studies a year before the exam. We recommend 360 guided learning hours for A-Level Business. Breaking down a 360 hour course into 1 year (52 weeks), works out at around 7 hours of study per week.

CloudLearn's New Technology Update for 2024

We're thrilled to introduce two groundbreaking products designed to support GCSE students in their educational journey: AI Assist and Progress Tracker.
