Economics GCSE

If you’d like to understand and communicate in one of the world’s most widely spoken languages, Spanish A level could be the perfect course for you.

You will also gain an understanding of the formation of the Spanish language and its place and significance in Spanish culture.

All of these skills will allow you to pursue further Spanish study, or use your language skills in another field – international business, for example.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I enrol?

You can enrol and start any time you like, the earlier the better. The important thing to think about is when you wish to sit your exam and to give yourself plenty of time to work through your materials and revise successfully. Our cut-off dates for enrolment can be found here.

Once you have enrolled, you will get access to your course online immediately and your printed course materials will arrive a few days later.

Can I complete the Spanish A level exam in one year?

Our cut-off for enrolling on an A level Spanish course for the following summer examination series is mid-October each year. So yes you can.  However, remember that you will still need to fit around 700 hours of study time into your schedule before the examination.  The earlier you enrol, the less study you must do each week!
