Sitting the Exam
First, you’ll need to find an exam centre in your country that allows private candidates. Once you’ve identified a suitable centre, you’ll register with them and complete any required payments.
Before exam day, double-check that your statement of entry is correct. Also remember to bring valid identification to every exam. If you have any questions, or if you need special arrangements, keep in touch with the centre or exam provider.
After the exams, let the exam centre or provider know if you’d like special consideration. You’ll collect your results and certificates from them, and if needed, you can also request a review of marking or an appeal through the same channels.
Online Business School is here to help you during the whole IGCSE exam journey. We can support you in finding an approved exam centre, guide you through registration, and help you stay aware of the deadlines and requirements.
We’ll also advise you on exam preparation, check your statement of entry, and explain what you should expect regarding identification and access arrangements.
After your exams are finished, we’ll help you with the next steps too, including how to request special consideration, gather results and certificates, and apply for a review of marking or an appeal. Having that support means you’re not left guessing at any stage.
Am I eligible for this programme?
Most people complete the IGCSE Computer Science course between ages 14 and 16, but that doesn’t mean you’re locked in at those ages. If you’re over 14, you can join.
You also don’t need any previous qualifications to enrol, so you can start even if you’re just beginning your computing journey.
