Where can I re-take my gcse's in Bristol?

Question

I am 29 and want to re-take my gcse's in art and history. Does anyone no of a college in Bristol where I could do this.

Answer 1

You should be able to do them through adult education evening classes.

Answer 2

You don't say whether you just want to sit the exams again or whether you want to go through the whole course, bearing in mind that the syllabi may have changed since you originally took the exams.

However, if you want to take the courses again,surely there must be some colleges in Bristol where you can go to evening classes?  If you simply want to re-sit the exams, try telephoning your local college as they may well take you as a private candidate.

The following do accept private candidates but you will need to check if they do the same exam board as you.  Also check that they will monitor your coursework:
