I'd be wary of icslearn.co.uk. I looked at their website and they say they should be ready for the new A levels early in 2009. We've been teaching them since 2008 because the others are not available after June 2009.
Studying at home is really suitable for many people but make no mistake is very hard indeed, specially if you've been away from studying for a while.
Have a look at Uni prep courses with the Open University. havn't checked the details for a while but they used to do courses that prepared you for joining a degree programme.

Hi messie, have had a good look now at the what kitkat found and that looks good so may well take that route or something similar with the open university.
with regard to .ac, i thought it was only.ac.uk that were acedemic institutions not when its .ac on its own, as i have seen no other colleges/uni's or schools with just .ac, they are all .ac.uk...I also found this qoute (on a reveiw site so admittedly could be from anyone!)

This 'college' uses a domain name with the extension .ac. We all know that domains with a .ac should be academic institutions, but did you know that .ac on it's own is the domain for the Ascension Islands, and available to anyone? This 'college' uses this domain extension to mislead. Avoid at all costs.

</H3>so its all a bit confusing!
thanks for the heads up with ics, good to know, I'm going to speak with the royal town planning institute, environment agency and a government sponsered careers advisor next week and see if they can advise on the best route to where id like to get to, as there are so many options its not easy knowing which direction to go in!
