FAQ

  • Does the price of the course include the exam cost?

    No. You will have to find an exam centre and pay for it yourself, but the course tutor will help you find one. There are lots all over the UK and the rest of the world. Thousands of children not at school (Home Educated) take GCSEs and IGCSEs every year. Your child can do this too.

  • Will I need to purchase any books?

    Not necessarily. The course provides everything needed to study and pass the exam without a text book, but they can be an addition to study with.

  • How long will I have access to the course?

    As long as the exam is available to sit by CAIE, the course will be available. This is a popular IGCSE and there is an A Level for it too.

  • What if I change my mind?

    There is a 30 day money back guarantee. No quibbles. You will be refunded if you find the course is not what you want within that time.
