Approximately 6 months before an exam date, Students should book their place at an exam centre to take the Edexcel IGCSE Business Studies (4BS1) qualification exam.

The exam centre could be a private exam centre or a school or college that is also submitting its own students for the exam.

Edexcel publish a list of exam centres that accept private candidates. This won’t cover every available centre, so if there’s nothing shown in your area, we recommend contacting local schools and colleges directly.

Exam fees are not included in the course cost as they are paid directly to the exam centre. They will vary depending on which centre you choose.

Upon completing this course, students will possess the foundational knowledge essential for further development of their business acumen. This can be achieved by enrolling in our advanced business-related courses, such as Level 4&5 Business and Management.

IGCSE courses are typically chosen by individuals aged 14 to 16, but enrolment is open to anyone over the age of 14. Previous qualifications are not a requirement for eligibility.
