ONE YEAR FAST-TRACK IGCSE PROGRAMME
We offer a one year fast track IGCSE programme leading to IGCSE certification. IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds. It is recognised across the globe including world’s leading universities and employers. The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) was developed by University of Cambridge International Examinations over 27 years ago.
Our one -year fast- track IGCSE programme is ideal for:
- Students who need to retake their school certificate subjects papers.
- Students who are forced to move school due to illness, family circumstances such as relocation.
- Students needing to perform GCSE resist because they didn’t pass at first attempt
- Students needing additional or different subjects grade.
- Our one year fast track GCSE programme is also ideal for those returning back to education after some time out.
IGCSE are designed for the global learner and have been developed in consultation with the international school community, including a large number of teachers and world class academics.
IGCSE is equivalent to GCSE (in the UK), GCE, WAEC, NECO (in Africa) and other similar qualifications around the world.
The qualification is recognized by most notable educational institutions around the world.
ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GCSE AND IGCSE PROGRAMME?
It is believed that IGCSE is more challenging and rigorous than GCSE. IGCSE is structured like the GCSE O-Levels qualification in the UK and similar to the old GCE structure in Africa. IGCSE predominantly prepares students for A’ Levels, a kind of education similar to the old Higher School Certificate programmes in West African countries. IGCSE helps students develops creative thinking, problem solving and prepares them for advanced education.
Most independent schools in the UK now offer IGCSE as an alternative to conventional British GCSEs. They believe IGCSE better develops learner’s knowledge, understanding and skills through rich contents like Intellectual enquiry; Flexibility and responsiveness to change; Working and communicating in English; Influencing outcomes and Cultural awareness.
