High School Courses

International GCSEs (IGCSEs) are globally recognised qualifications equivalent to the UK’s GCSEs. Designed to meet international education standards, IGCSEs are often taken by students outside the UK or those learning through international or online schools.

Like GCSEs, they cover core subjects such as English, Maths, Science, and more, and are assessed through final exams rather than coursework. They’re accepted by colleges, universities, and employers worldwide as equal in standard to GCSEs.

At ICS Learn, you can study International GCSEs 100% online, with the flexibility to learn from anywhere, at your own pace. Ideal for international students, adult learners, or anyone needing a flexible study option.

At ICS Learn, our GCSE and International GCSE courses are accredited by two of the UK’s leading awarding bodies:

• Pearson Edexcel: The qualification branch of Pearson, the UK’s largest awarding body. Their globally recognised qualifications blend a progressive approach with international content, helping students reach their full potential in today’s competitive world. More than 3.4 million students study Edexcel qualifications worldwide.
• AQA: The UK’s most popular awarding body for high school qualifications, trusted by schools and colleges in 30+ countries around the world. AQA qualifications set the standard for academic excellence.

No matter which awarding body your GCSE or International GCSE is from, your qualification will be fully recognised by universities, colleges, and employers worldwide. 

Whether you study online or in a classroom, all GCSE and International GCSE students must sit their exams in person at the same time as all other students in the UK. 

You'll book to sit your GCSE exams at your nearest exam centre roughly six months before your chosen exam date. Exam centres are usually schools or colleges that submit their own students for the same exam. 

You'll need to pay a fee to sit your exam which is paid directly to the exam centre. However, the exact cost of this will vary depending on which centre you choose.
