As you complete hands-on programming tasks, solve practical problems, and use the online learning materials, you’ll start to understand what’s going on under the hood. You’ll also pick up skills that are useful for further education or for building a career in technology.

By studying IGCSE Computer Science, you’ll:

Understand the main principles and concepts of computer science

Practice programming skills across a range of approaches and languages

See how computer science is used in real situations

Build a strong base for progressing to further study in computer science, technology, or related areas

Studying IGCSE Computer Science also helps you make sense of today’s technology, including what it can do well, and the risks that can come with it. It’s a great stepping stone to Level 3 and A Level, and it’s genuinely helpful across other subjects and everyday life.

How it Works
You can begin your IGCSE Computer Science course whenever you like, because it runs completely online. That means you can fit the learning around your schedule and move at a pace that suits you.
Each topic is delivered through structured online study time. On top of that, you’ll get optional extras like suggested exercises, helpful readings, digital resources, and quick self-check activities.
When it’s time to earn your IGCSE qualification, you’ll sit written exams at an approved exam centre. You can check what exam centres are like and where to find one by using the link provided.
To finish the course, you’ll also have 1-2-1 tutor support plus everything you need in the course pack. Once you pass, you’ll receive your IGCSE Computer Science certificate, which can help you move on to A Levels, higher education, computer science-related jobs, or to study a Level 3 qualification through Online Business School.
Throughout the programme, you’ll have access to extra support such as webinars, social learning communities, and more materials designed to help you stay on track.

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.
