Personalised Progression Through AS & A Levels

At Amedeo College, our flexible approach to the Cambridge AS & A Level programme allows students to progress at a pace that suits their individual strengths and needs. A learner may be enrolled in AS Level, but can review IGCSE concepts in subjects where foundational reinforcement is needed. At the same time, in areas of strength, they can advance into A Level content ahead of the standard timeline.
