What's the fastest way to an A level French or German qualification? I've become interested in working across Europe and either would be a massive advantage.

No colleges in my area offer private candidacy. As far as I can tell my options boil down to:
1) an evening class fast track lasting one year and costing £200
2) travelling to a college that does take private candidates and attempting to learn in my own time
3) taking some sort of distance learning course

Which of these options sounds best to you lads? Any experiences to relate?

I should say I already work full time, and will be exploring options to get work abroad without the A level, too.

Are you looking to learn or get a certificate? If you're just after the paper ask the awarding bodies or exam centres whether you can register separately. If you're looking to learn, then you should pace it properly, though if you have a lot of ground to cover you may have to wait between each level. You might be able to make it through two levels in a year - one in autumn, one in spring,then waiting possibly a third in summer of you can find a willing language school.

The standard measurement for language proficiency is CEFR. You will need as an absolute minimum level B1, B2 if you want to get work on a reasonably short timescale, and C1 will be a definite advantage over other filthy foreigners.

A-Levels will require at least a GCSE in the chosen language; but if you still want to do an A-Level you could:

Get RosettaStone, get a French/German textbook series, do a load of A-Level past papers and look at the specification then pay to enter yourself into the A-Level exams only.

I'd love to do this, but couldn't find an institution near me that would allow me to do so.

I never had that problem.
