How the IGCSE Biology Course Works

Our IGCSE Biology course lets you begin whenever you’re ready and study fully online, giving you total flexibility to learn at your own pace. The course is carefully designed to help you build a strong foundation in biology, along with the skills you’ll need for further studies or a future career in science.

The course includes structured online lessons with guided study hours, plus extra optional resources like practice exercises, readings, digital tools, and self-assessment quizzes to support your learning.

To earn your IGCSE qualification, you’ll take written exams at an approved exam centre. You can explore available exam centres and locations through our handy guide here.

Throughout your studies, you’ll have personalized one-on-one tutor support and access to all the materials you need to succeed. After passing, you’ll receive your IGCSE Biology certificate, which will open doors to A Levels, university courses, science careers, or Level 3 qualifications with us.

You’ll also benefit from a range of additional support including live webinars, social forums for learning with others, and extra resources designed to enrich your study experience.

Siting for IGCCSE Exam

When you’re ready to take your IGCSE exam, the first step is to find an exam centre in your country that accepts private candidates. Once you’ve chosen a suitable centre, register with them and pay any required fees.

Before the exam day, double-check that your statement of entry is correct and don’t forget to bring a valid ID with you. Stay in touch with the exam centre or provider if you have any questions or need special arrangements.

After completing your exams, let the centre know if you require any special consideration. You’ll collect your results and certificates from them, and if needed, you can request a review of your marks or appeal through the same centre.

At BCES Admissions Abroad, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll help you find an approved exam centre, assist with your registration, and make sure you meet all deadlines and requirements.

We’ll also offer advice on how to prepare, verify your entry details, and explain what ID and special access arrangements you might need.

Once your exams are done, we’ll support you in applying for special considerations, collecting your results and certificates, and navigating the process for marking reviews or appeals. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
