At NEC we want you to succeed. If you’re enrolling on a course with us, we’ll do everything we can to ensure that you see it through to completion and achieve the highest grade you can.

This means we’ll tell you if we think you’re being too optimistic with your intended exam dates. Studying an IGCSE or an A level, for example, takes a considerable amount of time, with a lot to learn in order to be prepared for your exams.

Each of our general education courses has a suggested enrolment cut-off date for the next available exams, after which we recommend making use of our Fast Track service. If you choose to use the scheme you’ll benefit from a faster turnaround time – all of your work will be marked and returned to you within three days, meaning you can progress through your course more quickly.

This enhanced service costs £125.

If we believe that even with Fast Track you will be unable to complete all the work you need to in order to be prepared for your intended exam dates, we’ll let you know and advise you to aim for the next exams session instead.
