The Law GCSE Course helps students to understand more about the law and puts you in a better position to know your rights under the English legal system. Whether as a consumer or a potential lawyer. You will develop your skills and knowledge through carefully chosen cases and a range of practical activities.
 
Presented in a lively and entertaining manner, this home study course introduces the law of England and Wales. It is equally suited to students wanting to study the subject further, possibly with a legal career in mind, and to those who simply wish to find out more about the law of the land.
 
This specification has been designed to encourage more than the acquisition of factual knowledge about the law. It is important that candidates should see law as a process which changes in response to society’s changing needs. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions, and there is guidance for the preparation of coursework.
 
There are seven tutor-marked assignments. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed or required.

Practical Skills/Coursework:
 
No Coursework is required.
 
Additional Reading:
 
No additional textbooks are required, although recommendations for additional reading can be found in the course materials.
 
Technical Support:
 
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they need to keep in regular contact. The essential relationship between student and tutor begins with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan.
 
All tutors are fully qualified teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. So when you enrol on a course you can be assured of the assistance of a professionally qualified subject specific tutor.
 
We don’t set a limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA’s) in every course. These help the student consolidate the learning he or she has done and prepare for examinations.
 
All tutors have a local rate telephone number such as a 0845 number. This means that when you phone your tutor it will only cost you the price of a local call. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.

Examination Centres:
 
There are currently over 300 testing centres across the country, so finding one close by is not very difficult. In December/January we contact you to start arranging your examination dates. We always try to give whatever help we can with examination information, but the entering of students for examinations and any dealings with the examination centre’s are entirely the responsibility of the student.
 
Nearest Examination Dates:
 
Please review the GCSE Overview page for detailed information on possible examination dates and procedures.
 
GCSE Examination Fees:
 
On average the GCSE examination fee is approximately £30 per subject regardless of the amount of examinations, plus an administration fee which is at the discretion of the exam centre.

Studying from Abroad:

It is possible to study GCSE Courses from anywhere in the world. However some home study courses are easier to study from abroad than others and some restrictions to the type of tuition available apply. If you wish to study a GCSE then you will need to sit the examinations in the UK. Please remember that most GCSEs have several examinations which may well be spread over several weeks.
