Why do we have enrolment Deadlines?
Although the very nature of Home Education is that students study at their own pace, our tutors need time to mark the assignments within the course and provide suitable feedback. You can see the recommended study hours below.
- Key Stage 3 Single Year – 100 hours
- Single GCSE – 200 hours
- A single A level – 700 hours
These are the figures for an average student. Some students might need less, some students might need significantly more.
Some of our subjects also have Non- Examined Assessment (NEA). These subjects will have an earlier deadline than non-NEA subjects. This is because the NEA submission dates are considerably earlier than the examinations.
Enrolment Deadlines
Keystage 3 Courses
We do not have an enrolment deadline for Keystage 3 courses. This is because there are no examinations for these subjects. As a result, the course runs for one year from enrolment.

Don’t leave it till the deadline!
The later you leave it, the more pressure you put the student under. Many of the students who enrol later in the year will find that they don’t have time to complete the course before the exam. Whilst we are happy to defer a student’s examination dates in these circumstances (for a small fee!) we would rather the student was studying a manageable workload from the start, so please apply early.
