GCSE—The Fundamental Building Blocks for a Good Education

GCSEs have been designed to develop and test skills which will be relevant both for further study and in the wider world of work. It's what you can do rather than what you know. This makes them perfect for studying by distance learning.

If you left school without many GCSEs, you probably already know what a handicap it can be. Many careers are denied to you simply for this reason. You may already have several GCSEs but find that a few gaps such as English or Mathematics are holding you back. Many of Oxford Open Learning's distance learning students are graduates who only now are realising that they need these qualifications to become teachers, to enter nursing or to embark on a wide variety of other careers.

Don't let the fact that you did not get a qualification at school hold you back. You are almost certainly better equipped to pass now than you were at 16, and with our expert help, you can be confident of a good result.
