Level 2 (Intermediate)


The intermediate level is for students who want to retake their GCSEs or who have completed Level 1 courses successfully. Students are required to have completed a level 1 course such as a foundation level GNVQ or have several GCSE's at grade 'D'.

Courses on offer include GCSE English and Maths for students who have not taken them and those who want to improve their grades in them. Additionally we have ICT, Religious Studies and Science. These courses will prepare students for advanced level courses such as A levels and the Islamic Sciences Programme (Alim Course).

All GCSE retake students will also study some core Islamic subjects alongside their GCSEs. These subjects are: Tajweed (recitation of the Holy Qur'an), Foundation Arabic Language, essential Fiqh and Aqa'id.
