About the course

You will study the programme over one year, with friendly and supportive teaching staff. It is an intensive course which aims to help you build the skills and knowledge you need to achieve grade 4 (C) or above in specific subjects. This course is best suited to those that have already taken GCSEs, but didn’t gain the required grades. The GCSE programme requires a lot of self-motivation and commitment, but in return, we'll be there with you every step of the way. Your future is important to us!

We also have a 2-year option for those that may require more time to complete the qualifications, as they have not studied GCSEs before, especially if pre-16. To find out more, please visit: GCSE 14-16 (for 14-16 year old learners).

What do I need to join

Most students will already have achieved a grade 3 at GCSE, however, you don't need to have taken GCSEs before to do this course. Whether you want to retake your GCSEs or you have been home-schooled, you are welcome to apply.

Those without prior qualifications will be expected to take an English and maths assessment prior to starting to ensure you have the basic level of literacy and numeracy required to access learning at GCSE level.

What can I do next
After successfully completing the course, there are a number of options available to you, including: • A-levels • Apprenticeships • BTECs • Employment • Foundation degrees • HNC/HNDs • Internships • NVQs For most UK universities, a minimum of 4 GCSE passes at grade 4 (C) or above (including English and Mathematics) are a mandatory requirement.
