GCSE Adult learner

[HermioneSnape42]

I have inquired about an access to education course at my local college as I would like to do a degree in history or education with a view to becoming a teacher.

But I do not have GCSE English or Maths above the required grade. I did however get a double B in science.

Is it doable to do the gcse’s And the access course together in one year or have I just added another year to my already long road to becoming a teacher.

Also is there anything I can do before September as I obviously can’t enrol or start any course until then.

I feel like I’m just sitting wasting time.

Thanks.

Plenty of adult learners do GCSE Maths and English alongside their main program, so it's definitely doable.

You do however, need to be well motivated as you will need to do some extra outside of your lesson to consolidate and revise the work.

In the mean time, have a look at past papers and see how well you can do already. From doing the papers, identify anything you need to learn or have further practice with.

Good luck.
