As students progress through their two-year IGCSE learning path they will have the opportunity to sit for external assessments in the subjects they take. These exams allow learners to understand their progress through their coursework as well as highlighting areas of advanced achievement. Occurring in the latter half of Year 10, the examinations include written and oral tests as well as practical assessment. Student receive internationally-recognised certificates for each subject they successfully complete.
