Most of use understand the benefits of getting a good education. Not only can it open doors to university and better job prospects, but can help to broaden an individual's outlook on life. For some people, however, getting the right qualifications can be a real challenge, especially if they aren't in mainstream education. It's no wonder then that an increasing number of people are turning to distance learning, or home education, as their preferred way of passing exams. This book focuses on GCSEs and A-Levels: the main school-leaving qualifications that are universally recognised in the UK. It explains the main features of the qualifications, how to study them, and how to take the exams involved. This book is intended to be used as a guide for prospective students who might want to undertake this form of learning, but have some difficulty in working out where to start.
