I’m thinking of doing an online GCSEs in a subject I enjoy, for fun.

Can anyone recommend a company to do it, and tell me what I might expect in the way of support?

You don't need a company - you can just do it! With a tutor if you don't want to self-study? There are various exam centres around the country, and you can just arrange to take your exams there, like home educated school age students.

I’m thinking I could do with some ‘lessons’ though and some accountability to help make it happen!

Does it have to online? Many colleges run GCSE courses in the evenings.

A tutor or college course would be perfect!

I think so… I would love that! I am however frightened of sitting in a classroom with lots of others on a regular basis and getting COVID again and being really ill. I’ve still not recovered from a previous infection 18 months ago. Long Covid is a bitch like that.

I guess I’m

Definitely just get a tutor then, if you'd not like being on a course. But (as an English tutor) I can tell you that GCSEs are incredibly easy once you're an adult Grin You could probably teach yourself most of it and just get a tutor for the final few months to help you with exam technique etc, if you needed a confidence boost. What subject are you thinking of?
