How you pay
You pay a monthly subscription for each A Level while you study, or one payment for the year at 15% less. Your first 7 days are free: nothing is charged until day 8, and if you cancel before then you pay nothing. There is no credit agreement, so there is no debt and nothing for anyone to chase; if you stop paying, you simply stop studying. Every payment you ever make is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. Prefer to skip the trial? Choose "Start now", pay today, and every payment is 15% lower for as long as you study, on top of the annual saving if you pay yearly.
The three plans
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (saves 15%) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Study | £49.99 | £509.99 | The full course, your named UK tutor, marked practice in every unit, mock papers and AI Study Support. You arrange your own exam entry as a private candidate; exam entry is only on +Exams. No minimum term |
| +Exams | £89.99 | £917.99 | Everything in Study plus awarding-body registration and one exam entry per subject, booked for you at a Tutors & Exams centre, with the entry and centre fees included |
| +Exams & CPAC (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) | £119.99 | £1,223.99 | Everything in +Exams plus the CPAC practical endorsement at a Tutors & Exams laboratory venue |
On Monthly, +Exams and +Exams & CPAC come with a 9-month expected term because exam fees are built into the price. You can still cancel at any time with no exit fee, but exam credit you have not yet used is forfeited and any exam not yet booked is void. On Annual the year's payment covers the exams, so no term applies.
What is included
Tutor support, all study materials, marking within 5 to 7 working days, mock papers and access to the learning platform are included on every plan. On +Exams and +Exams & CPAC your awarding-body entry fee and Tutors & Exams centre fee are included and Lift College enters you before the deadline and confirms your seat by email, at one of ten centres in England: Birmingham, Bolton, Coventry, Doncaster, High Wycombe, Mitcham, Newcastle, Romford, St Neots and Taunton. On Study you can enter yourself at a centre that accepts private candidates and you are responsible for that entry, its fees and any non-exam assessment arrangements; our guide to A Level private exam centres explains how.
Discounts
- Annual billing: 15% below twelve monthly payments.
- Start now: skip the free trial, pay today, and every payment is 15% lower for life. This stacks with the annual saving.
- More than one course: 5% off for two courses, 10% for three and 15% for four or more, added in the basket, on top of the annual saving.
Pausing, changing and refunds
You can pause from your dashboard: billing stops, your progress is saved, and you restart when you are ready. You can change course inside your subscription at no cost by contacting us. Any payment can be refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of it being taken.
What is not offered
Lift College does not offer Advanced Learner Loans, government student finance or third-party finance products. The monthly or annual subscription is the only way to pay. Prices for every family of qualification are on the pricing page, and our comparison of online A Level providers shows how this model compares with fixed course fees and separate exam fees elsewhere.
