A complete post-16 programme of study
Cambridge Advanced Nationals complement existing A Level study programmes, so students who want to progress onto further or higher education, but don't want to study only A Levels (or a T Level programme), can choose a mixed study programme.
We already offer over 30 A Level qualifications in a wide range of subject areas and many students already take one or more A Levels alongside vocational qualifications, such as our existing Cambridge Technicals. Students also choose to supplement their study programmes with our Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or Core Maths.
This mixed study programme provides students with the practical and essential skills and knowledge they need to better prepare themselves for entry into higher education and university.
