The only course that does not require an assessment is the GCSE Biology.

If your tutor feels you have the potential to achieve higher than a grade B, they will discuss the opportunity of entering you for the higher tier paper.

I would like to apply for the GCSE Welsh (Second Language) course. Is this course suitable for someone with a limited understanding of the Welsh language?

A good understanding of basic Welsh is required. We will ask you to complete a short assessment before you are enrolled. This will help us to signpost you to the course that's right for you.

You will need access to a PC, laptop or chromebook and you will need a reliable internet connection. Your device needs to have a webcam, microphone and speaker to allow you to engage fully in the lesson.

You will still need to attend a campus to sit key assessments and final exams, therefore you must live within travelling distance of a GLLM campus.

I am interested in the GCSE Biology, is this available online?

No. This course requires practical elements to be completed and these are only available on campus.

I still have a question about the GCSEs, is there somebody I can talk to?

No, we do not accept external candidates for GCSEs. To be able to sit any GCSE exams at the college, you must enrol on the course.

I’m looking to study a GCSE online, where would I sit the exam?
