At East Durham College, we offer GCSE maths and English for FREE to those who haven't previous passed these important qualifications.

Getting a pass grade in GCSE maths in English is fantastic for anyone's career aspirations - many jobs expect you to have these grades, and if you missed getting them the first time around, EDC can give you a second chance!

We offer completely free GCSE maths and English courses for adults.

For school leavers who didn't pass maths and English, we also make sure they get a second chance by allowing them to study both subjects against their chosen vocational programme.

We also offer a number of additional GCSEs are part of our highly-popular Elective Home Education offer >> for students aged 14 to 16 and students enrolled in Engage (14-16) >>
