GCSE Mathematics (Edexcel)
You will be required to undertake an initial BKSB assessment in order to demonstrate that you are working at Level 1 or above.
GCSEs are taught throughout the UK and overseas, and are seen as being one of the most recognisable and robust standards of education in the world.
Most employers require GCSE Maths and use this qualification as a filter in their selection process. Gaining a qualification in this area, or improving your existing qualification, can help in your career progression. If you are thinking of furthering your education, achievement of GCSE Maths at grade 4 and above is a vital requirement for university entrance and progression to A level study.
This course is part-funded by the ESFA (Education and Skills Funding Agency) or Greater London Authority (GLA) for those that are eligible.
