Examinations

Examination Entry Information
DCA will provide whatever help we can with examination information, finding an exam centre and authenticating coursework but entering examinations is entirely the responsibility of the student and the contract for sitting the examinations is between the student and the exam centre. We are not an exam centre and therefore although we can give information and guidance, we cannot make your entry for you, or change an incorrect entry. Full details about exams can be obtained on application. Students will sit external examinations and receive a certificate from the awarding body AQA.
Textbooks
In addition to the recommended text, each course has a suggested reading list to help you achieve a broader understanding of the subject. Some subjects also require an accompanying textbook(s) which you will need to obtain.
