AQA A Level Biology Subject Specialist (7402) – Contract

About Pass:

Pass is a UK-based online education provider delivering Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications, with A Level courses planned for Summer 2026. Through structured, high-quality digital learning platforms, we support learners from enrolment through to exam, improving pass rates and helping more people progress into further study, apprenticeships and careers. Pass is a pioneer in the EdTech space, using data to drive higher pass rates for underserved learners, many of whom were not able to succeed the first time around at school.
All courses are built as fully online courses within our internal systems and form part of the Pass offering.

We are now looking to build an AQA A Level Biology (7402) as part of our Summer 2026 roadmap.

Project Overview:

This is a structured contractor project covering 84 mapped topics - these have been mapped and outlined by our in-house team. A spreadsheet will be provided outlining these topics. This is a full course build, not a small writing task.

A significant proportion of the revision content already exists from Oxbridge content that we have acquired. The bulk of the work will involve:

Uploading and structuring revision content within our internal systems, for each topic
Creating practice questions and written solutions for each topic
Creating topic tests and written solutions for each topic
Creating one set of mock exam papers
Creating an Initial Assessment - an assessment containing questions of varying difficulty across a range of topics from the course
Creating a Topic Area Knowledge Assessment (TAKA) per topic area / module
Ensuring full alignment to the AQA 7402 specification
Each topic is designed to represent approximately:
~1 hour revision
~1 hour practice and testing
You will be working within defined templates and structured formatting guidelines.

Estimated Time Guidelines:

These are indicative effort estimates only.
