The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is two years course.

GCSE courses are taken in a variety of subjects

Typically, study of chosen subjects begins at the start of Year 10 (ages 14–15).

Some subjects start earlier, for example Maths, English and Science, because these courses are too long to be taught within 2 years.

Final examinations are taken at the end of Year 11 (ages 15–16).

At the end of the two-year GCSE course, candidates receive a grade for each subject that they have SAT.

GCSEs are part of the National Qualifications Framework.

There are now five examination boards offering GCSEs:

Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA)

Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR)

Edexcel (Edexcel - London Examinations)

Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC)

Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment (CCEA)
