Will we need new teaching materials?
To teach Advancing Physics you will need the AS/A2 Teacher CD, AS and A2 text books for students, and the AS and A2 student CDs.

What computers will we need?
TBC

Will we need new apparatus?
If you are already equipped to teach A level physics, there is very little additional apparatus required - you should already have some sensors, an interface and data logging software.

Does it make any extra demands on technicians?
There is no special apparatus to construct in either the AS or A2 year, so basic technician skills will be sufficient. We also organize training for technicians to refresh skills and learn and share new ideas.

Can I talk to someone who is already teaching the course?
Yes - just send us an email with your school name and postcode and we can put you in touch with some local schools teaching Advancing Physics.

What support and training is available?
We organize training for teachers - AS and A2 - and technicians each year. Our forums help teachers, technicians and students keep in touch and share ideas. The knowledge base on this website is a resource created by other Advancing Physics teachers.

Where do I start?
In the first year of the course, plotting a route through will probably be your highest priority - the Teachers Guide on the AS/A2 teacher CD is the best place to start.
