Kurs Combined Science IGCSE (Doppelabschluss)

The Science IGCSE Course combines the most interesting aspects of IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This is an ideal introduction for students who require a grounding in elementary science which has become a requirement for many important occupations, such as Teaching, Nursing & midwifery.

IGCSE Science (Double Award) is worth TWO IGCSEs. Written by experienced science teachers and subject specialists, Marion Green, Michael Jones and Philip West, the course provides excellent preparation for the IGCSE Science examinations. Each lesson of the Combined GCSE course begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions. There are 25 tutor-marked assignments including a substantial mock exam. Students will need to have access to the internet to complete this course.

The home study course is divided into three modules:

• Biology,
• Chemistry,
• Physics.

I am Michael Verinder, the managing director of Distance Learning Courses Limited and I have been developing and delivering distance learning courses for over 20 years. Distance Learning Courses Limited is a family based business and my involvement in this area started after my Dad developed our first Webmaster Course back in 1993 I soon ended up doing the course myself and this eventually led to me tutoring the course.

Since then we have gone from strength to strength and we continue to develop innovative course materials and the Distance Learning Centre website was created as a platform to offer a wide range of distance learning courses. The Web Design courses remain a popular course choice but equally we offer a range of courses that can lead directly to specific job roles such as teaching assistant and child care courses that lead to full QCF qualifications or GCSE, IGCSE and A Level Courses which are still massively important for many job roles and further education applications.

Through our Distance Learning Centre website, e have supplied direct to companies and company employees from many leading international organisations such as:
