Birmingham Retake Specialists

Retake Your A-Levels Online

Resit or retake your A-Levels in one year, fully online, from anywhere in the UK.  The same specialist teaching, weekly assessment and personal UCAS support as our Birmingham campus, built to turn last year’s grades into the results your university place depends on. Online does not mean on your own. Every lesson is taught live by a subject specialist in a small online class, then recorded so you can rewatch any time. You sit the same timed assessments and get the same one-to-one feedback and reapplication support as our in-person students. The only thing that changes is where you log in from.

The Edgbaston Advantage

Why retake or resit online with us

Live, taught lessons

Every class is taught live by a subject specialist, never pre-recorded, and saved so you can rewatch any time.

Genuinely small classes

Small online groups, so every teacher knows every student and no one hides behind a screen.

Frequent exam practice & feedback

Weekly assessments under exam conditions and three mock exams, each with individual feedback.

Bespoke reapplication support

Personalised UCAS reapplication guidance from Principal Owais Ahmed, who personally oversees every application.

Focused exam technique

Targeted exam technique and timing coaching, the skills that turn a near miss into the grade you need.

Resit from anywhere

Join from anywhere in the UK with the same structure and accountability as being in the room.

Personalised From Day One

A retake plan built around you

No two retake years look the same. Every student starts with a one-to-one consultation with the Principal, so we can target exactly what held your grades back last time.

Here's how the structure works:

Review your previous results and scripts to see precisely where marks were lost.

Map your target grades and universities, including any new subject you need for your course.

Build a personalised one-year online plan with targeted support to close those gaps.

How It Works

Who resits and retakes online with us

01

Students lifting their grades

to reapply to university, including Medicine and Dentistry.

02

Students who narrowly missed an offer

and need a grade or two more to confirm their place.

03

Students who also need a new subject

 in the same year – for example, adding Chemistry for Medicine alongside a resit.

04

Students who can’t attend in person

too far from Birmingham, abroad, or on a gap year – but want structured, taught lessons rather than self-study.
