In "exam mode" you work under full timing with no supports until you finish, exactly like the real test. In "practice mode" you can check any question as you work, scaffolded by our intelligent LMS — difficult words are explained as you read, and every wrong answer comes with a detailed explanation.
Write Task 1 and Task 2 and get your evaluation in minutes — your own sentences marked and colour-coded, with a better version of each weak one. For Speaking, our conversational bot takes you through Parts 1, 2 and 3 with real follow-up questions. Our AI evaluation is programmed, reviewed and tested by CELTA-qualified teachers, with human evaluators also available for both skills.
NextBrit Academy is an ATHE Recognised Centre, with real courses, real admissions and a progression route to UK universities. Practising is free, and what you pay here is less than an hour with a private tutor — well under what the established platforms charge for the same standard.
Perfect if you already hold standard school qualifications. You can secure your place with either of the following.
Don't worry if you lack formal secondary school qualifications — if the following applies to you, we encourage you to apply.
Skip the test anxiety entirely. At NextBrit, you have the opportunity to prove your structural skills through practical, supervised assignments instead of high-stakes test papers.
Why waste time? Complete your qualification in just 15 weeks (Route 1) or 30 weeks (Route 2), saving you over a year compared to traditional school programs like A-Levels.
Accessibility is at the core of our model. NextBrit brings a structured ATHE Curriculum directly to your screen in a 100% online mode. You can connect to your interactive virtual classrooms from anywhere in the world, fitting beautifully around your personal or professional life.
Rest assured that you are never studying alone. At NextBrit, you have direct, interactive access to professional educators who provide full guidance, personalized feedback, and a supportive online peer community.
Navigation has never been simpler. Log in to find all your comprehensive learning resources, digital textbooks, and assignment submission trackers organized inside our intuitive, easy-to-navigate Learning Management System.
Build your future on a solid and authentic foundation. Both the Diploma courses are issued by an awarding body overseen by Ofqual—the exact same UK government regulator that manages standard A-Levels, GCSEs, and BTECs.
Your progression to higher education will be seamless. This qualification sits on the official UK framework at Level 3, matching the exact academic tier and standard of difficulty as traditional A-Levels.
Your journey does not end when you graduate. After completing your diploma, you receive comprehensive, free consultancy guidance and application preparation to help you secure a place at university in your preferred subject area.
Budgeting has been made easy at NextBrit. Split your course fees into 3 manageable monthly payments (£200 for Route 1, or £300 for Route 2) with absolutely zero interest or hidden charges.
5 units · 60 credits · all core
A focused, fast-track route into higher education. Every unit is core, so there's nothing to choose and nothing to plan, you start at Unit 1 and work through.
7 units · 120 credits
The first five units are identical to the 60-credit diploma. You then add organisational strategy and project management, the two units that carry the extra UCAS points.
Your decision typically depends on your budget, your timeline, and which university admissions cycle you are aiming for. Simply check the required UCAS Tariff points for your target degree program and choose the option that matches your goals:
Yes, absolutely! Because the first 5 units are completely identical across both courses, your hard work will count perfectly toward either qualification.
However, deciding your final path right from the beginning saves you time and paperwork. If you are debating between the two choices, simply reach out to a NextBrit advisor before you enroll—we will help you map out the perfect path for your university goals before you spend a single penny.
Yes, they absolutely will! Both of our diplomas are fully Ofqual-regulated Level 3 qualifications that carry official UCAS Tariff points—the exact credits university admissions teams use to assess applications.
Since every university sets its own entry rules for different courses, it is always best to check the requirements for your specific degree. Don't worry about figuring this out alone—your NextBrit advisor will gladly look up your desired university course and map out the requirements with you before you even apply.
No, these courses are completely self-funded. We have deliberately discounted our tuition fees by 50% to just £600 or £900 so you do not have to take out a high-interest government loan. To make it even easier on your budget, you can split this cost into 3 manageable monthly installments with absolutely 0% interest and zero hidden fees.
This setup means you will not take on any bad debt. It keeps your full government student finance budget fresh and ready for your university degree later. Traditional college courses might offer government loans, but they usually force you to study for a full year. NextBrit gets you qualified and ready for university in a fraction of the time.
It depends entirely on which cohort you join. NextBrit runs 5 cohorts a year for the 15-week course (starting in the first week of August, November, December, March, and July) and 3 cohorts a year for the 30-week course (starting in the first week of November, March, and July).
To secure a university place for a September term, you must complete your diploma by July of that same year.
Here is exactly how the math works out for your timeline:
It comes down to time and format. Resitting traditional A-Levels usually means spending a full academic year back in a physical college, following a strict timetable, and sitting stressful final exams.
NextBrit offers a much faster, more flexible alternative. Our courses take just 15 or 30 weeks, are delivered entirely online, and are assessed 100% through written coursework. A lot of students find high-pressure exam halls nerve-racking, which directly affects their overall academic performance. If you are one of those learners, our diploma programs are the ideal choice to get your qualifications without the test anxiety.
Do not worry—you can still apply. If you are 19 or older, you can take our special mature-learner route. This path values your real-world work experience—whether paid or unpaid—instead of school grades. Simply complete our quick eligibility check, and we will show you exactly how to get started through a friendly entry assessment.
None at all. Neither route has a single exam. Instead, you will be graded entirely on the practical written assignments you submit online. Each of your assignments is graded Pass, Merit, or Distinction, and your tutor will provide personalized, helpful feedback every step of the way to ensure your success.

Comparison figures for other study routes are typical published costs and vary by provider and individual circumstances. The £100 assessment fee is refundable where an application is unsuccessful, in line with our refund policy.
