A wide range of support is available to assist teachers delivering GCSE Business and Communication Systems. Teachers and students can make use of the following documents:

  • specimen papers and mark schemes;
  • the GCSE Business and Communication Systems specification; and
  • a resource list.

We run support seminars and agreement trials at various times throughout the year, and we can also arrange centre support visits. Please contact us for more information.

Let us know what other support materials you would find useful. Complete our online comment form and tell us what we can do for you!

We intend to expand our range of support to include the following:

    • past papers;
    • Chief Examiner’s reports;
    • schemes of work;
    • fact files; and
    • sample controlled assessment responses.
