National 5 and Higher English are highly sought after qualifications and not having attained these can create a barrier to accessing further/higher education and career progression for young people and adults. It is a very common entry requirement to an increasing number of college and university courses and is also an expectation many employers will have when recruiting.

Our online taught National 5 and Higher English full qualification course is available to anyone, whether you are an adult looking to improve your career or study prospects, a school pupil looking to gain this alongside your existing studies, or a home educated learner looking for a centre to learn with and take your exam.

Our teachers who deliver this class are full time, fully qualified GTCS registered teachers and SQA markers who are currently delivering the N5 and Higher English courses in Scottish schools or colleges.

Our online distance learning course includes:

  • Live online lessons, video content and self study activities
  • Regular tasks and assessments to track learning and progress
  • Access to a wealth of learning resources via our secure online platform
  • Online prelims to build evidence and make predicted grades for SQA
  • Regular one-to-one support sessions with your teacher​
  • Support to produce your externally-assessed coursework folio writing pieces
  • SQA final exam included, in-person at Strathclyde University
