A-Level Design & Technology — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between AS and A2 in A-Level Design & Technology?
AS covers Core Technical Principles and Design Principles, worth 50% of A-Level of the full A-Level. A2 covers Extended Technical Principles and Major Design Project (NEA), worth 50% of A-Level. A2 content assumes the AS material, which is why gaps left at AS tend to surface as A2 problems.
What does A-Level A-Level Design & Technology cover?
Across AS and A2 the course covers 4 units: Core Technical Principles, Design Principles, Extended Technical Principles and Major Design Project (NEA).
How long does A-Level A-Level Design & Technology tutoring take?
It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year usually take one session a week; students revising for a resit or repairing a specific module work in a shorter, more intensive block. A first session establishes which.
