ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

There are no formal qualifications required to register for a GCSE Arabic course, although anyone wanting to enrol on one of our Foundation or Higher tier GCSE Arabic courses, or the exam, should have some previous Arabic study. You do not need to have an Arabic teacher at school, nor does your school need to do Arabic. You may need to complete a short assessment prior to starting a Foundation, or Higher tier course, or start your learning with a pre-GCSE Arabic course.

HOW TO START

Thinking about doing a GCSE in Arabic? Ask whether:

  • You want to opt for regular tutor based lessons or whether you only need the self study option?
  • Do you know your level or do you need an assessment first?
  • Are you interested in the Pay As You Go (PAYG) option, or the advanced monthly option?

COURSE DURATION

See individual courses for more details on the course duration. The courses can be taken on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, it’s really up to you. GCSE Arabic is usually a two year course, but your duration of study will depend on how much previous Arabic knowledge, or lack thereof, that you have. It will also depend on the remaining time before the exam entry deadline.

This is an essential resource for all U.K. and international GCSE Arabic students sitting the Pearson-Edexcel exam, or learning Arabic in general. It’s one thing reading a textbook, but it’s a different experience to get involved with an interactive course. Most textbooks, and script only courses, are under used, and end up gathering dust.
