This course revises topics that are common to GCSE/IGCSE specifications in topic-specific sessions, as detailed below. The course will not offer board-specific exam practice and will not cover any coursework, investigation requirements, pre-release or decision-making requirements.

Each session does not necessarily include ALL the content within a topic. For example, weather does not include Drought or El Nino/La Nina as it is not a requirement for all boards. Similarly, Ecosystems only covers tropical environments, whereas some boards will specify an additional option such as Polar or Coral reef environments.

Students should bring their own textbooks plus any past papers/questions they are working with. Students attending fewer than five sessions will be charged at a pro-rata rate.
