How You Will Study

All of your lessons and assessments are available on CloudPort - our Moodle-based learning environment (Moodle VLEs are used by most colleges and universities in the UK).

Start with lesson 1 and work through the course in a linear pathway or choose to jump to the section that you need. Your learning is completely flexible and allows you to set your programme of learning around the skills you need.

Submit assessments as you work through the course. Get instant results and feedback on activities to track your progress. Use these assessments as learning launchpads, allowing you to focus your time on the topics you need to brush up on.

You will have access to all course materials, assessments and tutor support for 12 months from the day of enrolment. Extensions are available for students who wish to study over a longer period.

Your Own Dedicated Tutor

You are not alone! You will be assigned a personal 1:1 tutor on your day of enrolment. Your tutor will remain by your side, throughout your learning journey until you get qualified. Students can communicate with their tutor in real time using the online messaging system. Student queries are answered within 1 working day. When support is delivered online ALL queries and responses are recorded in your profile so that you can refer back whenever required. This is particularly useful during revision periods.

All tutors are qualified teachers and subject matter specialists who will ensure you have the correct guidance and support when you need it. As a CloudLearn student, you will have unlimited access to tutor support.

Assessment & Examination

CloudLearn courses are structured around formative assessments allowing you to test your knowledge as you work towards qualification. Before taking your exam you will submit a mock exam to give you the practise you need before the big day.

When ready we arrange your exam. We have agreements with exam centres all over the UK. Our students also take advantage of preferential pricing due to the volume of students we channel to exam centres.

As part of your enrolment service package we will make all the arrangements for your final exam. This includes locating a centre and booking the relevant exam/s. Exam fees are additional.

Exams fees can be added to your course when you build your Study Plan. Have a look on our Exams Page for a detailed explanation of this service.

The Edexcel IGCSE English exam is available in May/June and Oct/Nov each year. It is assessed over 1 exam paper:

  • Paper 1: 4EB1/01 - 3 hour exam

We generally ask that you book written exams at least 6 months in advance.

Booking your exam after the booking deadline will incur late fees (available for one month after deadline) and high late fees (available up until exam entry closure).

Late fee for GCSE Summer Exams (May/June) = 1st of February.

High Late fee for GCSE Summer Exams (May/June) = 1st March.

Late fee for GCSE Autumn Exams (Oct/Nov) = 1st of August.

High Late fee for GCSE Autumn Exams (Oct/Nov) = 1st of September.

Fast-track Your Learning

Some students will prepare for the exam over several months or years by setting their study schedules. However, some students opt for intensive study and prepare within a matter of weeks. Your only constraint is the exam schedule, as GCSE exams are held in May and June each year.
