Course overview

GCSEs are recognised qualifications that are often a gateway to further learning. GCSEs are one of the most popular and sought after level 2 qualifications in the UK. Core subjects consist of mathematics, english and science, and are key requirements for many jobs and entry to further levels of study.

We offer a range of 15 online GCSEs including this GCSE Chemistry Foundation Tier qualification, awarded by AQA.

Chemistry is a branch of science and in our GCSE chemistry course you will study the subject of matter, the substances that form matter and their properties and reactions, as well as the elements of the Earth and its atmosphere.
