FAQ
Some common questions about Alexa's GCSE French Preparation Course
What is the GCSE?
The GCSE, or General Certificate of Secondary Education, is a qualification taken by school students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as some institutions in other countries around the world, in order to prepare them for the final two years of secondary school and for the job market. There are around 60 subjects with GCSE qualifications—including, of course, French.
With which exam boards is this course compatible?
The Learn French with Alexa GCSE course has been designed to align with the AQA exam board. This means that while students undertaking a French GCSE with another exam board may find the guides, videos and other resources useful for improving their French, it will not prepare them for their respective exams or coursework.
What if I want to take the GCSE course, but my French level isn't quite good enough?
It is recommended that students undertaking the GCSE course have a minimum level of A2 in the CEFR. (You can check your level here.) However, those with a lower level may benefit from Alexa’s Complete French Course, which covers all levels of French proficiency, from the very basics to advanced French. You can purchase the GCSE course and the Complete French Course together at a discounted rate as part of a bundle.
Do I need to be preparing to take the GCSE exams to purchase a subscription to the GCSE Preparation Course?
Although the GCSE Preparation Course has been structured around the AQA GCSE French exams, you do not need to be preparing to take the exams to purchase access to the course. The material in the course will be of use to any learners at A2-B1 level of the CEFR.
What's the difference between GCSE and IGCSE?
GCSEs are mandatory exams taken in the UK when a student finishes high school. Outside of the UK, IGCSEs (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) provide the exact same level of qualification as GCSEs but are available worldwide.
Here are the main differences:
- Course content and subjects
- Exam dates
- Availability by country
- System of grading
- Coursework
Though there are differences in the two qualifications, one is no better than the other. Both are globally recognised and highly regarded by colleges, universities, and employers.

How many hours/lessons a week would you recommend?
We recommend studying 30 minutes per day so that you keep on practising without it becoming too overwhelming.
What's the difference between the GCSE course alone and the GCSE & CFC Bundle?
The GCSE course is designed for students needing to prepare for the GCSE exams. It is recommended that students undertaking the GCSE course have a minimum level of A2 in the CEFR.
The Complete French Course is designed for complete French beginners. Those with a lower level in preparing for the GCSE course may benefit from Alexa’s Complete French Course, which covers all levels of French proficiency, from the very basics to advanced French. You can purchase the GCSE course and the Complete French Course together at a discounted rate as part of a bundle if needed.
