For a full breakdown of course content, download the IGCSE Physics Brochure.

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.

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.

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.

CloudLearn GCSEs and A-Levels 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.

The Edexcel International GCSE Physics exam is available in May/June and Oct/Nov each year. It is assessed over 2 exam papers:

• Paper 1 4PH1 1P - 2 hour
• Paper 2 4PH1 2P - 1 hour 15 min

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

By participating in our Online GCSE Physics Course, you will gain invaluable skills that you can use in further learning or a wide-range of professions. You will test your creativity and adaptability whilst improve your problem solving, critical thinking, analytical and interpretative skills through learning how to form hypothesis and design experiments to test them. You will also learn how to be a conscientious, responsible and self-regulated learner through an appreciation of the importance of safe experimental work and accurate reporting as scientific methods.

Additionally, you will discover the benefits of open-mindedness and social responsibility by evaluating, in terms of their scientific knowledge and understanding, the benefits and drawbacks of real-life applications of science. Furthermore, you will improve your communication and organisational skills as you will be tasked with selecting, organising and presenting information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions. We also hope to show you the benefits of continuous learning and intellectual curiosity by inspiring a sustained enjoyment of, and interest in, the scientific world.

Therefore, by taking part in the CloudLearn GCSE Physics Course, not only will you learn about the fundamental concepts of physics, you will also gain a comprehensive skill set that can be used in a variety of degrees and careers.
