business & EconomicsThe Business and Economics suite of qualifications covers everything from Accounting to Applied business, to develop a thorough understanding of the major elements of commercial and economic activity.

gceEdexcel GCE Advanced level and Advanced Subsidiary specifications are challenging and modern academic qualifications, aimed at learners aged 16-years-plus wishing to progress to higher education.

Available in a wide range of subjects, Edexcel gCE A levels are recognised and valued by some of the world’s top universities, including oxford, Cambridge and harvard.

Edexcel GCE AS qualifications are equivalent to half of a gCE A level and take one year to complete. learners can continue studying for another year, after which they can gain a full Edexcel gCE A level. Many international learners take up to five Edexcel GCE A levels instead of, or alongside their national qualifications.

gcseThe General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is a qualification aimed at learners aged 14-years-plus and is available in nearly 40 subjects.

This is a UK-specific qualification which sits on the UK Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) and is therefore aimed at schools who are familiar with uK requirements. Assessment is usually modular and takes two years, with a combination of controlled assessment and examination determining the final grade.

Although GCSE is an academic qualification, it prepares learners for both vocational and academic study at UK QCF Level 3.

international gcseInternational General Certificate of Secondary Education (International GCSE) is a qualification aimed at learners aged 14-years-plus and is available in 40 subjects.

This qualification is specifically designed for international learners and is recognised by education institutions across the world. renowned for its rigour, the International gCsE is based on a linear structure: assessment is via examination after two years of study.

Although the qualifications are academic, International GCSE prepares learners for both vocational and academic study at UK QCF Level 3. The qualification gives teachers the opportunity to localise content where appropriate, making lessons more relevant and engaging for learners.

scienceThis is a varied and stimulating suite of qualifications that is designed to impart a thorough, yet broad range of scientific knowledge across all three disciplines, inviting the student to discover the possibilities inherent in scientific investigation and discovery.





This is a UK-specific qualification which sits on the UK Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) and is therefore aimed at schools who are familiar with uK requirements. Assessment usually takes two years, with a combination of controlled assessment and examination determining the final grade.

Although GCSE is an academic qualification, it prepares learners for both vocational and academic study at UK QCF Level 3 progression.


This qualification is specifically designed for international learners and is recognised by education institutions across the world. renowned for its rigour, the International gCsE is based on a linear structure with examination after two years of study.
