About the course
This is a condensed GCSE, with the syllabus to be studied over 6 months working towards the exams in the summer of 2022. There will also be an element of guided self-study in this course.
Each individual will be fully assessed by our professional tutors and advised whether this qualification would best suit his/her needs. Students may be directed to the longer GCSE course which will start in September 2022 if the tutor feels this is more appropriate.
Students often find attending a functional skills class beneficial, prior to starting GCSE.
If English is not your first language, we will ask you to do an initial ESOL assessment. We offer a range of ESOL classes which may suit your needs better than a GCSE.
Entry requirements
You will need to have either a Functional skills Level 2 English qualification or achieve the minimum standard required during the assessment to be accepted onto the course.
Qualifications
AQA English - new specification (grades 1-9)
What you'll learn (core modules)
The tutor will prepare learners for exam entry for GCSE which is completed in June 2021. The course consists of the preparation for two written examination papers - one in Reading and one in Directed Writing. There is also a Speaking and Listening component which is assessed by a short oral presentation and interview. This is an intensive GCSE course so it is expected that learners will attend each lesson and spend an equivalent amount of time studying/doing homework between lessons.
