Pearson Edexcel

On successful completion of this iGCSE, and the associated exam, you will have gained an iGCSE in Chemistry.
International GCSEs (iGCSEs) enable successful progression to A Level study and beyond. This course has also been created in collaboration with International Advanced Level and GCE A Level Teachers, as well as Higher Education Professors to validate the appropriateness of the qualification, including its content, skills development and assessment structure.
Pearson Edexcel are the UK's largest awarding body and we are regulated by Ofqual (England), SQA Accreditation (Scotland), CCEA Accreditation (Northern Ireland) and Qualifications Wales (Wales). They offer academic and vocational qualifications that are globally recognised and benchmarked, with educational excellence rooted in names like Edexcel, BTEC, EDI and LCCI.

Progression
- International Advanced Subsidiary, for example in Chemistry
- International Advanced Level, for example in Chemistry
- GCE Advanced Subsidiary, for example in Chemistry
- GCE Advanced Level, for example in Chemistry
- Level 3 vocational qualifications in science, for example, BTEC Level 3 in Applied Science
- Other comparable, Level 3 qualifications, such as Access to Higher Education Diplomas
- Employment, for example in a science-based industry where an apprenticeship may be available
