GCSEs

GCSEs are generally taken at school, but some subjects can be taken as additional subjects for those following both academic and vocational programmes. Re-takes for GCSE Maths and English are available where necessary. Many jobs, as well as Level 3 courses ask for a good standard of education, for example a minimum of five GCSEs. Often jobs and Level 3 courses require a GCSE grade C in both English and Maths.
