GCSEs and A levels in lesser-taught languages: first teaching 2018
Pearson is strongly committed to maintaining the availability of a wide range of language GCSEs and A levels. Although some awarding organisations are ceasing to offer those language GCSES and A levels only taken by a limited number of students, we believe these qualifications are an important contribution to fostering diversity and community cohesion.

For this reason, we have taken the decision to only offer the full linear A level in the languages being developed for first teaching 2018.
