Studying GCSE's at Home?

Driving_Soon

Hey, Has anyone done this?

I'm thinking of it, as I really want to improve my GCSE Grade's In English and Maths ( English this year I think .. and Maths next year! ). I had found a place which does it but it's in the next town from me, and it's a lil bad for travel! and as it will be 7:00 - 9.30 .. it puts me off a little!

Someone told me you can study them from home? but I'm not really sure how it would work? like with coursework ect. which would have to be set and marked? ect.? and the speaking and listening bit?

Anyone that knows cheers!

sounds interesting how do they mark coursework and essays etc. Also where do you sit exams do Nec organise it all? Thanks


Just out of interest and not being nosey why did she do A levels like this and did she get ok grades? My dd cannot find anywhere nearby to take A levels (that is of good standard) and this might work for her. Thanks

I have just emailed NEC a few questions and they seem very helpful! but its a little dearer than other websites! I shall think about it for a week or two, but they do look very good!

Yeah it really does look good Just one little thing puts me off .. Part of the English GCSE coursework is speaking and listening and i have to go to a centre and do a speach infront of people i don't even know :eek: , Plus it is a little more expensive than other sites, but i think they offer the best Surport ect.

I just asked about the speaking and listening part of the coursework really! but they got back in less than 3 hours :rotfl:
