OLC – courses offered through Omagh Learning Community.

All A Levels are modular. The AS (Advanced Subsidiary)  modules in each subject covered in Year 13 will be examined in that year and will constitute an AS Level (i.e. half an A Level) in that subject.

A2 modules will be taken in each subject in year 14, and these will them combine with the AS to produce a full A Level.  AS and A Levels are graded on a scale of  A-E.


Students taking a BTEC course will be graded Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction* at the end of the two years study.


To give breadth and balance to your Post 16 subject choice we advise the following:

  • Business Studies cannot be taken with BTEC Business.
  • Only one from Digital Technology, OCR Technical I.T or Software Systems Development may be chosen.
