About the course
This course is designed for students wishing to achieve a GCSE qualification without travelling to a learning centre. The lesson takes place at a set time each week within a virtual classroom. Each individual will be fully assessed by our professional tutors and advised which qualification would best suit his/her needs. Students often find attending a functional skills class beneficial prior to starting GCSE.
You will access a range of material via an online platform (MS Teams) and attend live tutored sessions delivered by your tutor to small groups. All delivery will be online. The tutor will use a variety of teaching methods including explanation and discussion, as well as group and individual activities.
Homework will need to be uploaded to MS Teams for marking on a weekly basis.
