About this course
Each lesson of the Chemistry IGCSE course begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study which enables students to develop a range of scientific skills as they work with diagrams, graphs, statistics, photographic images and online media. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment tests. The course includes 9 Tutor-marked Assignments (TMA's) including 2 practice exam assignments.
The course is designed to be accessible to students who may have only a limited previous background in science. If you have some background in Chemistry then you should find that some of the lessons build upon things that you have met before in your earlier studies.
There are no prerequisites for starting this course.
Please Note: We cannot accept students who are under 18 years old on this course. We do have an alternative IGCSE course option for students who are under 18.
Student Support:
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they should keep in regular contact. All tutors are fully qualified experienced teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. Most work from home and are able to offer flexible contact times. The tutor will contact students with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan. They will also let the student know the best ways and times for contact.
There is no limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA's) in every course. These help the student to consolidate their learning and prepare for examinations.
All tutors have a Freephone 0800 telephone number and most will have Skype capabilities. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.
