The majority of our courses start in September, with some also starting in February. GCSE Maths is only available to start in September.

Studying English alongside Maths

You can also choose to study on one of our English courses whilst on a Maths course. However, we do not recommend completing both GCSE courses in one year, as it is a very big time commitment to attend class and complete homework and preparation over a year. Enrolment onto two simultaneous GCSE courses will therefore be at the discretion of the course adviser and dependent on individual circumstances. Being realistic about your time and capacity in advance will avoid potential issues like dropping one course before the end or getting a lower grade.
