LiveSchool is a new way of learning IGCSE Computer Science from Pembrokeshire College.

Computers are widely used in all aspects of business, industry, government, education, leisure and the home.

In this increasingly technological age, the study of computer science, and particularly how computers are used in the solution of a variety of problems, is not only valuable to the learners but also essential to the future well-being of the country.

The IGCSE Computer Science – LiveSchool course is assessed through two written theory papers. This qualification provides students with the opportunity of operating confidently in today’s digital world, and enabling them to apply computational thinking in context.

You will have access to 60 x one hour IGCSE Computer Science lessons delivered live by your course tutor (one per week during term time throughout the course).

All of these live sessions are also recorded to allow you to access any of your previous lessons whenever you want to…which is very useful for revising!

LiveSchool also includes revision and exam preparation sessions towards the end of the course.
