Unit in a Day - An Intensive Revision course for Advacned Higher Students
With SQA exams on the horizon, the February break is a crucial time for revision. We are offering an excellent opportunity for students to begin their advanced higher exam preparation in a structured way with support from a subject specialist. The home environment isn’t always ideal for learning as many students tell us that they struggle to concentrate as there are too many distractions.
During February, we are offering Unit In A Day revision courses. Each intensive revision course focuses on one unit of a particular course. Pupils can attend any combination of classes to suits their needs. These courses are delivered by subject specialists, in a relaxed environment. Guided by our teachers, students will be given structured support on how best to achieve their desired grades.
The Advanced Higher Courses we offer are below – Start Dates and Running times.
The information below can look overwhelming! at this stage of the year, most students will have completed two units of all subjects some might have done more, you are able to book any combination of units and classes that suit your teen.
Most subjects contain three units, in the table below we have outlined the dates and times for each unit.
