5 stars

The format of the course is brilliant and support from my tutor has been great. He is happy to answer questions and guide me in the right direction. You’re also able to access a forum where there are other people studying the same course as you, you’re able to help each other and ask as many questions as you’d like. Very helpful and all round, a 5 star service. I cannot wait to finish my course and move onto my next, which will most definitely be with CloudLearn.

I have always used cloudlearn for my education. I believe them to be flexible and trustworthy, which are needed for someone working full time and needing to get on with their education.

I love the little assessments the most, as it’s a great way to understand what topics you need more support with.

I am very pleased with the course and the help I have received, which enabled me to achieve my first GCSE grade - a grade C. The staff have been very helpful and the online material is easy to follow. You can study in your own time and there is constant contact with a teacher if you need help. I have fully enjoyed my course and never once felt under pressure. A big thank you to the CloudLearn team. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anybody.

Frequently Asked Questions

Visit our full FAQ

Can you do a GCSE course online?

Yes, online GCSE courses are a great option if the traditional way does not suit you. With online courses, you can study from home, at your own pace, while still receiving support from a tutor and organised materials to cover all the topics in the syllabus effectively.

Are online GCSEs worth it?

Absolutely! These are particularly useful for homeschooled, mature students and retakers, but they can be great for everyone, as they allow you to study from anywhere, at your own pace, even reducing study time to one year or less.

How much does a GCSE cost?

The total cost for a GCSE typically includes two fees: the course itself and the exam entry. At CloudLearn, most GCSE courses start at £299, with exam fees starting at £270. Bundling courses and exams or registering for multiple subjects can help you reduce costs.

What month are GCSE exams taken?

There are two instances of examination during the year, in May-June and in November, with specific dates changing every year. Make sure to check the exact dates early on, as late inscriptions have extra fees.

Is IGCSE better than GCSE?

GCSEs and IGCSEs provide exactly the same qualifications and have the same level of difficulty. The only difference is who can take these exams. GCSEs are those taken by UK residents in traditional schools, while IGCSEs can be taken by students studying remotely in the UK and worldwide.

What do I need to get started?

Just you and your device! Select the courses you want to study, choose your payment plan and start preparing for your GCSEs right away! All the course materials are available on CloudPort, our online platform, so you only need a device with an internet connection to access it.

How do I enrol?

First, decide what subjects from our catalogue you want to take, and then add them to your Study Plan (a.k.a. cart). If you want, you can already purchase your exam at this point and arrange the details later. Once you are ready, select your payment plan; you will see the multi-course discounts get applied immediately. Move on to check out and start studying right away!

What level is Edexcel GCSE?

Edexcel GCSE is a Level 2 qualification on the National Qualifications Framework, equivalent to other GCSE exam boards like AQA and OCR. It's the standard secondary education qualification for students aged 14-16 in the UK. CloudLearn's Edexcel GCSEs carry the same academic weight and university recognition as any traditional school GCSE qualification.

Is Edexcel the same as GCSE?

No, Edexcel is an exam board that offers GCSE qualifications. GCSE is the qualification type, while Edexcel (Pearson) is one of several examining bodies that create and assess these courses. CloudLearn partners with Edexcel to deliver GCSEs with the same standards and recognition as traditional schools, ensuring your qualifications are universally accepted.

Are AQA and CAIE the same?

No, AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) and CAIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) are different exam boards. AQA primarily serves UK schools, while CAIE focuses on international qualifications. Both offer respected qualifications, but CloudLearn uses Edexcel, which combines strong UK standards with international recognition, making it ideal for online learning.

What online GCSE subjects are there?

CloudLearn offers comprehensive online GCSE courses in Biology, Business, Chemistry, English Language, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Science, and Sociology. All subjects include complete course materials, unlimited tutor support, and flexible study schedules. We cover the most popular and university-required subjects to maximize your future opportunities.

What are the best GCSEs to take?

The best GCSEs depend on your career goals, but English and Mathematics are essential for most university courses and jobs. Popular choices include Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), History, Geography, and a modern foreign language. CloudLearn's courses help you select subjects aligned with your ambitions while providing the flexibility to study multiple subjects effectively.

How to take a GCSE outside of school?

You can take GCSEs as a private candidate by enrolling with online providers like CloudLearn. We provide comprehensive course materials, unlimited tutor support, and handle exam centre bookings for you. With our 120-hour recommended study per subject and flexible scheduling, you can achieve excellent results while studying from home at your own pace.
