<p>The Department offers Service personnel the opportunity to study for International
(General Certificate of Secondary Education) (IGCSE) examinations as opposed to GCSE
examinations, since these are better suited to the work and life of Service personnel.
The IGCSE does not involve coursework, instead candidates sit an extra paper. The
IGCSE qualification is recognised world-wide.</p><p> </p><p>In 2014, there were 1,763
applications from Armed Forces personnel for the IGCSE examinations. All applications
were granted, although this does not mean that every candidate sat the exam.</p><p>
</p><p>These figures represent only those applicants who planned to have IGCSEs through
Cambridge International Examinations.</p>
