Overview

Our Online GCSE Chemistry Course is the international version or IGCSE. This Course provides basic knowledge and understanding of the unifying patterns and themes of chemistry.

In studying this course you will develop a logical approach to problem solving and you will learn how chemistry affects the world. You will also learn scientific methods which will allow you to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them.

The course aims to develop an understanding of the principles of chemistry and then builds on this knowledge looking at the chemistry of the elements, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and chemistry in industry.

Our Online GCSE Chemistry Course enables students to:

  • Learn about the unifying patterns and themes of chemistry
  • Acquire knowledge and understanding of chemical facts, concepts and principles
  • Appreciate the practical nature of chemistry, developing experimental and investigative skills based on correct and safe laboratory techniques
  • Appreciate the importance of accurate experimental work and reporting as scientific methods
  • Develop a logical approach to problem solving in a wider context
  • Understand the widespread importance of chemistry and how materials are used in the world
  • Evaluate, in terms of their chemical knowledge and understanding, the benefits and drawbacks of real-life applications of science, including their everyday, industrial and environmental aspects
  • Select, organise and present information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions
  • Prepare for more advanced courses in chemistry and for other courses which require them to have a knowledge of chemistry.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
