"Local" Colleges for A2 Psychology
Here is a list of colleges that I've contacted when looking for an "A2"
psychology evening class starting in September 2003, but it also serves as a
useful list of websites. My requirements were:
- Reasonably local
- Must be on an evening other than Wednesday
- Must be "AQA" specification "A"
- Would like a reasonable assurance that it's actually going to run (some
advertised courses don't run if too few people enrol)
After assembling this list, I was contacted by Cricklade, who say that they
have enough students to run the course, and so I've enrolled there. For the
other colleges, unless stated, I don't know whether the advertised courses are
confirmed or not.
The places I contacted were:
- AQA are the examination board : they say they can't provide me with a list of institutions that run their
courses because of "data protection" issues.
- Alton College does "AS" but not "A2"
- Applemore Southampton don't run
A2

- Brockenhurst College do OCR, not AQA,
