Why IGCSE
A recognised qualification with international reach.
IGCSEs are used by schools and private candidates around the world. They can be a strong option for home-educated learners, international families and students who need a flexible exam route.
Specifications differ between Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge International. Some subjects have optional papers, practical components or tiered entries. We check these details with you before registration so there are no surprises.
Our team can also advise on the difference between IGCSE and GCSE where a university, college or employer has a specific requirement.
