About AQA and GCSE Foundation Tier

A General Certificate of Secondary Education, or GCSE, is an academic credential at the secondary level that is highly regarded by colleges, employers, and educational institutions around the world. The qualification largely entails studying a subject's theory while also requiring some research and, in certain cases, practical work. The GCSE foundation tier is ideal for students who find the higher tier challenging and are aiming for grades 1-5 in their GCSE.

The goal of the awarding authority known as AQA, an academic and general qualification, is to improve students' knowledge and skills. It establishes standards, conducts exams at the GCSE, AS, and A Level in a range of subjects, and awards credentials for employment. These certifications are highly valued by employers and colleges around the world.

About Official Exam, Assessment & Certification

In order to assess the knowledge and skills that students are learning, this GCSE Biology Course tests students through multiple online examinations in between lectures. After successfully completing each module, students participate in an interactive assessment process that gauges their understanding of each topic and their ability to put their newfound knowledge and credentials to use in real-world situations. When applying the underlying knowledge to get ready for tests, you may also review your progress at the conclusion of the session and continue to practise whenever you choose.

When you will be ready for the official exam there is an additional registration fee of £345 (Exd. VAT) to book the official exam.
