What’s the difference between our online and offline course materials?
Our online course will enable you to study your course materials whenever you are online. You can access the course on computer, on your phone, or via an electronic notebook. There’s no need to carry your course folder with you when you are on the move. You can store your own notes within our online classroom, and keep all your study materials in one place.
Our highly successful course folders of study materials provide a print-based version of the same course content. Hard copy materials offer students a well-established means of accessing well-organised, high quality study materials that they can keep with them at home, or in their usual place of study.
Apart from the way in which you choose to receive the course materials, the content our IGCSE English course materials is the same whether you study online or in print. Both forms of the course include the same tutor, exams officer and student adviser support.
