It is interesting to see an alternative to A-Levels. The video gives views from students who are taking the program and looks at advantages and disadvantages. I like the way that the students get to cover a wider range of subjects. A useful clip if you are thinking of offering this program at your school. from TASHABARNES, 05 January 2012	(report comment)	3 out of 5
