Subjects that contain coursework or controlled assessment can’t be taken by private candidates. This is because they require input from a teacher and must take place in a controlled environment.
However, if you took coursework or controlled assessment units while you were enrolled as a full-time student at a different centre and were given grades for these units, we’ll have your results on our databases. In these cases, your existing marks can be used to contribute to your overall subject grade, which you’ll get when you complete all of the required units.
Alternatively, you may be able to take subjects with coursework or controlled assessment via a distance learning organisation that can arrange for your work to be authenticated.
The following organisations provide approved distance learning courses for some Edexcel qualifications and subjects. You’ll need to contact them to see if they can help you:
