GCSE Maths & English Online Course

You can study for GCSE Maths and English through a school, college or with an online provider like CloudLearn. Courses cover the full syllabus and lead to a recognised exam board qualification, with exams sat at an approved centre.

If you're 19 or over in England and don't already hold a grade 4 (C) or above in Maths or English, you may be entitled to fully funded tuition through the government's legal entitlement. Funding covers the course itself, though exam entry fees are sometimes charged separately, so it's worth checking the details with your provider.

Most learners complete a GCSE Maths or English course in around 6 to 12 months, depending on how many hours a week they can commit and their starting level. Studying both subjects together can be done in the same timeframe if you split your time across them.

There's no legal requirement for adults to hold a GCSE pass, but many colleges, universities, apprenticeships and employers ask for a grade 4 (C) or above in Maths and English as a minimum entry requirement. Students aged 16 to 18 who haven't achieved a grade 4 are required to keep resitting as a condition of their post-16 funding.
