The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is one of the most recognised qualifications around the world. IGCSE courses are renowned for developing vital educational skills, including recall of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, team work and investigative skills.

The resulting qualification provides a foundation for higher level courses, such as A and AS Levels, the Advanced International Certificate of Education, the North American Advanced Placement programme and the International Baccalaureate. IGCSE caters for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects.

The core curriculum is based on an overview of the subject and is suitable for students expected to achieve grades C to G. The extended curriculum is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A* to C. Grades achieved through either route have the same value. IGCSE offers a flexible course of study that gives candidates the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them, whilst providing them with a broad knowledge base and lifelong skills.

GCSEs were first introduced in 1986 and are well tried and tested examinations in a wide range of subjects in humanities, sciences, arts, languages, maths and technology. They command respect and have status not only in the UK but world-wide. There are no formal entry requirements and no lower or upper age limits. Students normally study up to 10 subjects over a two-year period

The UK awarding body Edexcel International, which offers its London Examinations around the world, has announced that it is launching a new qualification, the International GCSE (IGCSE).
