  What are iGCSEs?

  GCSEs are the compulsory qualifications taken by students in the UK between the ages of 14 and 16 which lead to further studies, such as A Levels, or other international equivalent qualifications, before progressing onto university.

They are both equivalent qualifications that are highly regarded and accepted by universities and employers within the UK.
