French IGCSE FAQs
The international GCSE French is of the same level as a GCSE and is examined by Edexcel, one of the UKs most trusted examination boards. A key difference is that IGCSE French does not include classroom controlled assessment or coursework, making it convenient for distance learners.
The French International GCSE qualification is accepted as at least the equivalent of GCSE in UK sixth form colleges, FE colleges, universities and other HE institutions.
