Is it worth retaking GCSEs as an adult?
Absolutely! For students who didn't do so well in their GCSEs the first time around, it's never too late to retake them, which can lead to better career opportunities in the future.
What is the GCSE equivalent for adults?
There is no GCSE equivalent for adults, GCSE courses are available for all ages. Although students traditionally study GCSEs at high school, there are still thousands of adult learners who study GCSE courses throughout the UK each year.
How long does it take to do a GCSE as an adult?
At CloudLearn, we can guarantee a pass if you study for our recommended duration. For GCSEs, that's 120 hours. How fit those hours into your own lifestyle is up to you, but here at CloudLearn, we've had students who've enrolled and passed their GCSE exams in as little as 2 months.
Can adults do GCSE for free?
If you are an adult student who has left school, you will likely need to study a GCSE course independently and sit the exam as a private candidate, both of which will incur fees.
Do I need any prior qualifications to start studying for GCSEs?
No. There are no prior qualifications required to start studying GCSE courses.
Can I get help with specific subjects or topics I find difficult?
Yes! At CloudLearn, all of our courses come with full tutor support allowing you to contact your course tutor 24/7 via an online messaging system. We also have student forum where you can discuss specific subjects and topics with other like-minded students.

What are the key dates and timelines I need to keep track of?
Once you've enrolled on a GCSE at CloudLearn, you will have 12 months access to the online learning platform which should be more than enough time to get through the lessons. Extensions can be arranged if need be.
If you are sitting the exam you will need to ensure you have studied for the recommended study duration before the exam day. The team here at CloudLearn will ensure you are booked in and give you some reminders in the lead up. GCSE exams take place every summer and you don't need to book in for a specific exam at the time of enrolment, you can decide on that later if you're not sure how long you will need to study.
What should I do if I need to take a break from my studies?
That's not a problem. Simply email the team here at CloudLearn on info@cloudlearn.co.uk and we can pop your account on hold for up to a year.

Testimonials

Lizz Ness
I chose to do this GCSE course in Psychology, for my own benefit of learning something new, (at 76!). I love learning! The tutor has always been very helpful, friendly.
I have learnt so much about human behaviour, it has been amazing, and very useful.
I would recommend anyone, regardless of age, to try an on-line course with CloudLearn.

I've been studying with CloudLearn since November 2022 and have had little to no issues at all. If ever I have had an issue, the student advisors, especially Niamh, have always been on hand to help out. The content is set in the same format it would be in at a face-to-face college and Tutor Marked Assessments are available to provide feedback when needed.

We are very happy with our experience generally. My daughter is pleased with her results. And we have been well informed regarding anything upcoming, such as exams changes/venue/due dates etc.
We would highly recommend. Exam centre near and easy to access/park etc. price good/payment plans. It's all made so easy and caters for everyone.
