  • I don't want my child to be interrupted by adverts or messaged by strangers. Is the learning platform safe?

    Absolutely. Access to any of our courses is secured and can only be accessed by those enrolled on the course through a registered email address and password. We have not enabled any discussions so no learner can communicate with other learners. We use the dedicated Thinkific learning platform meaning you will only see your own course content. No annoying adverts.

  • Can I download the resources and print them out?

    The course is designed as an online course. Some resources, such as practice exam questions, are downloadable and may be printed out so you can attempt them as you would in the exam. Some reference resources, such as formulae, are also downloadable and printable. However, as an online course, not all resources are downloadable such as the video lessons. You are, though, able to access them online 24 hours a day and can re-visit any resource as many times as you like.

  • Do I need a printer?

    No. The course is designed as an online course and can be completed entirely online. However, you may find it helpful to print some of the resources, such as exam questions if you wanted to replicate the exam environment. This is entirely up to you.

  • Will this course give me a GCSE qualification at the end?

    This course provides the learning content for Theme 1 of GCSE Business (Edexcel). GCSE Business (Edexcel) includes two themes (Theme 1 and Theme 2) so you will also need to cover the content in Theme 2. To gain the GCSE Business (Edexcel) qualification you will need to sit the relevant exams. These exams are not included in this course and you will need to arrange them yourself.
