The Syllabus

This course prepares candidates for the AQA Business Studies AS level syllabus 1130 (for
first examination in 2009). Most home schooling students will then study the A2 syllabus 2130 for first examination in June 2010. The full advanced Level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited to home schooling.
