Fast Track Service
If you wish to enrol on a home learning course after our advised cut-off date for exams then you might want to consider our Fast Track Service.
This service ensures that your tutor will mark and return assignments to you within 5 working days rather than our standard 7-10 working days. This service only applies to home study GCSE and A level courses, where there are set exam dates.
Please note there is an additional fee for this service. Contact our Customer Relations team on freephone 0800 389 2839 for further information.
