A-Levels are a rigorous, globally recognised qualification that prepares students for university in the UK and beyond. Students typically take three or four subjects in depth over two years, completing AS content in the first year and full A2 papers in the second.
Madrid has one of the largest British-school communities in Spain, with schools accredited through the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS) across the city and its suburbs. Most follow the English National Curriculum and enter students for UK-domestic A-Levels, with some schools and sixth-form colleges on Cambridge or Edexcel International. Spanish and international families attend in roughly equal measure, and A-Level grades now convert directly into a Spanish university admission mark.
With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across Madrid reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Madrid
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Madrid:
- King's College Madrid
- Runnymede College
- Hastings School
- Virtus College
- The Learn Academy
British schools: NABSS-accredited schools across Madrid run two-year sixth forms, usually on AQA, OCR or Edexcel UK, and typically alongside A-Level Spanish.
International schools: Some British schools in Madrid offer the IB Diploma alongside A-Levels. Families choosing between the two are usually weighing subject depth against breadth, and how each converts for Spanish university entry.
Spanish families: Spanish students in the British system who plan to apply to Spanish universities through UNEDasiss, often also sitting the PCE to raise their admission mark.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently, including those studying online, retakers and students adding a subject their school doesn't offer.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised worldwide. Since 2023, an agreement between the UK and Spain means A-Levels give access to Spanish universities on the same footing as a Spanish qualification: UNEDasiss converts A-Level grades into an admission mark out of 10, and students can add up to 4 points by sitting the PCE subject tests. One qualification keeps Spanish, UK and wider European options open.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Access to Spanish universities through UNEDasiss accreditation
- Admission mark can be raised with the PCE subject tests
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than the broad Bachillerato
Why students in Madrid choose us
Madrid has a large tutoring market, but it is built around the Bachillerato, the PAU and the PCE. Academies that prepare students for Spanish entrance tests rarely have tutors who have taught the A-Level specification a student actually sits, and the A-Level subject specialists who do exist are heavily booked. Families often end up with a tutor who knows the subject in Spanish terms but not the A-Level papers.

Which boards and exam sessions
British schools in Madrid mostly follow UK-domestic boards such as AQA, OCR and Edexcel UK, with some schools and sixth-form colleges on Cambridge or Edexcel International. The UK boards run one summer series a year, while the international boards run more than one, which matters for resits. For Spanish university entry, the PCE subject tests run in their own sessions, with the main sitting in May/June and a second in September. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK) (most schools): A single May/June series with August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.
- Cambridge and Edexcel International: Two exam series each year: May/June (results in August) and October/November (results in January). Edexcel International also offers a January sitting for some subjects.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in Madrid sit through their own British school. Those studying independently, resitting after leaving school, or taking a subject their school doesn't offer can register as private candidates. The British Council in Spain hosts Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel exams for private candidates, and a number of schools and exam centres, including specialist centres in Madrid, also accept external entries. Registration deadlines fall several months before each series, and exam fees are paid to the centre, not to us.
- Through your school: Students at a British school are entered automatically by the school. Nothing to arrange.
- As a private candidate at a local centre: The British Council is the main route for Cambridge and Edexcel International entries. Private candidates outside the UK generally sit the international specifications, so a student who studied a UK-board A-Level at school may need to switch board to resit independently. Confirm with the centre before you register.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series. Plan early, especially for resits, and allow for UNEDasiss and PCE deadlines if you are applying to Spanish universities.

Yes. Madrid is on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. We record your child's availability and time zone on the application, and you are only matched with a tutor able to teach at times that suit, typically after school or at weekends. Read about the standards our tutors meet before they are matched with a student.
Yes. The British Council in Spain hosts Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel exams for private candidates, and several Madrid schools and specialist centres take external entries. Private candidates abroad generally sit the international specifications, so a student who studied a UK-board A-Level may need to switch board to resit. Confirm with the centre first. Read about resits and retakes.
Most Madrid students are on UK boards, which run a single May/June series with August results. Cambridge International and Edexcel International have May/June and October/November series, and Edexcel International adds a January sitting for some subjects. Spanish university applicants also face PCE tests, mainly in May/June with a second sitting in September. Confirm deadlines with your school or centre. See resits and retakes.
Most British schools in Madrid use UK-domestic boards: AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel. Some schools and sixth-form colleges use Cambridge International or Edexcel International instead. Because each board sets different papers, we match every Madrid student with a tutor who teaches their school's board, so revision and exam technique fit the specification they will sit.
Online, always. Lessons run one-to-one in our own virtual classroom. Madrid's tutoring market is built around the Bachillerato, the PAU and the PCE, and academies rarely have tutors who have taught the A-Level specification a student actually sits, while the specialists who exist are heavily booked. Online, we match a tutor who knows your child's papers. Parents can join any lesson. See how it works.
Yes. We offer one-to-one online A-Level tutoring to students in Madrid, matched on subject, exam board and target grade.
