Why CloudLearn?

For over a decade, CloudLearn has been the UK's leading provider of online IGCSE, GCSE and A-Level courses.

Through our online courses, you will have the opportunity to gain qualifications and skills you need to make real progress in your life and career.

CloudLearn is owned and operated by a dedicated group of academics and educational technologists dedicated to innovation in education. We believe technology is a tool to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and accessibility of learning. We continually improve our methodology based on emerging technologies.

Flexible Learning

At CloudLearn we believe that learning should fit around your schedule. Increasingly people are finding it more challenging to fit work and personal/family commitments around their education.

CloudLearn online courses are ‘asynchronous’ - meaning you don’t have to show up at a particular time and place, but can study whenever and wherever you like. Our educational environment is learner-centric, giving you the tools to study independently and achieve success at your own pace. We haven’t abolished teaching though - a dedicated and experienced tutor will be assigned to you to support you throughout your online learning journey!

Studying with CloudLearn will better prepare you for the transition to independent learning commonly found at Universities across the UK - particularly as more and more courses are now being delivered online.

Fast Track with CloudLearn

Because CloudLearn is designed for flexible pacing, it is easy to Fast Track your course. Depending on which course you choose to study, each will have a recommended amount of guided learning hours. This is the minimum amount of study time recommended for the course in preparation for the exam.

For example, any GCSE course undertaken has a recommended 120 guided learning hours. Breaking down a 120 hour course into 4 weeks, you would need to be able to commit to 30 hours per week of studying. It is entirely up to you the amount of time you can commit to studying.

Do remember though that depending on the examination you will be sitting, you may be restricted to when you can sit your exam. GCSE examinations for example are held twice a year in January and May/June. It is recommended that you aim to book your examinations 6 months in advance. Additionally, we would advise that you contact a few exam centres and find out the best price.

We offer 12 month and 24 month tutor support depending on which course you take. So if you do change your mind about fast tracking a course, you can take it at a slower pace and still use the tutor support should you ever need it. With this flexibility, in the unfortunate event you ever fall ill, have a change of circumstances or go on holiday we can put your studies on hold for a maximum of 12 months. Just let us know when you want to continue studying and we can reactivate your account!

CloudLearn Exam Service

There are thousands of exam centres in the UK, but not all of them accept private candidates. In fact, for some subjects that require coursework or practicals, finding a centre as a private candidate can prove tricky. That is why we have partnered with a network of centres in the UK.

Because of the volume of students we support, we have been able to negotiate preferential pricing for exam fees. Taking your exam at one of our affiliated centres could save you hundreds of pounds, not to mention the hassle in locating a centre in your local area.

Take the stress out of exam time. Bundle the cost of your exams when you enrol.
