An IGCSE is an International GCSE. They’re offered in many independent and private schools in the UK, and are recognised globally.

Our IGCSEs are awarded by Edexcel, the qualification branch of the UK’s largest awarding body Pearson. 

Their qualifications combine a progressive approach with international content to allow students to achieve their full potential in the global economy. More than 3.4 million students study Pearson Edexcel qualifications worldwide.

That means that when you study with us, your qualification will be recognised and respected by colleges, universities, and employers around the world, just like if you'd studied it in a UK school.

Whether you study online or in a classroom, all IGCSE students must sit their exams in person.

You'll book to sit your exams at your nearest exam centre roughly six months before your chosen exam date. 

Contact your local British Council before enrolling to confirm your nearest exam centre. Note that you may have to travel to sit the exam if there's not one a centre locally.

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