General
What is Edexcel College?
Edexcel College teaches Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE) and International A Level (IAL). Around 90% of classes are live online for students worldwide. Physical classes are at the Kandy campus in Sri Lanka when a subject and teacher are scheduled there. The college is not Pearson and is not an examination centre.
Does Edexcel College offer online classes?
Yes. Edexcel College provides live online Pearson Edexcel IGCSE and International A Level classes for students worldwide. Around 90% of the institute's classes are delivered online.
Can students outside Sri Lanka join Edexcel College?
Yes. Edexcel College primarily provides online classes, so students from different countries can join live lessons remotely. Joining depends on timetable availability, time-zone fit with the published class time, course availability, admission, and a reliable internet connection.
Is Edexcel College only for students in Sri Lanka?
No. Most classes are delivered online and are available to students worldwide. Physical classes are also available at the Kandy campus in Sri Lanka where a subject and teacher are scheduled there.
Does Edexcel College have physical classes?
Yes. Physical classes run at the Kandy campus, No 83 Katugatota Road, Kandy, Sri Lanka, for selected subjects, teachers, and schedules. There is no campus in Colombo, Kurunegala, or other cities. Students in those places join online or travel to Kandy when a class is on site.
Are the classes live or recorded?
Teaching is live. Enrolled students join the online classroom for the scheduled lesson. Some lessons also have recordings in the student portal after class. A recording is not a substitute for checking the timetable.
Can a Sri Lankan student attend online classes?
Yes. Online classes are the main way students attend, including students who live in Sri Lanka. A Kandy campus seat is separate and depends on the subject, teacher, and timetable.
Can international students attend physical classes?
International students normally attend online. A physical seat is only at the Kandy campus, and only when that subject and teacher have an on-site class. Ask admissions before planning travel.
How do online students join the classroom?
After admission and any required lesson payment, the student signs in to the portal and joins the live class from the timetable. The classroom checks enrolment, payment, and the student's registered browser before opening the lesson.
How does the online timetable work across time zones?
Each lesson has a published date and start time on the college timetable (Asia/Colombo). Online students join that scheduled time. The college does not automatically shift a class to every local time zone.
Are you Pearson or an official Pearson exam centre?
No. Edexcel College is an independent tuition college. We prepare students for Pearson Edexcel exams; Pearson and authorised centres handle official registration and results.
What Pearson Edexcel programmes do you teach?
We focus on Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE) and International A Level (IAL) tuition, with exam-oriented teaching and past-paper practice.
Which Edexcel IGCSE subjects are available?
The course enquiry lists the subjects currently in the college catalogue. Public teacher profiles name ICT, Computer Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, and Business. A catalogue subject is not automatically an IGCSE class this term. Admissions confirms the level against the live timetable.
Which Edexcel IAL subjects are available?
Use the course enquiry catalogue as the current subject list. Public teacher profiles name ICT, Computer Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, and Business. IAL availability follows the live timetable. This site does not add a level that is not scheduled.
Which qualifications map to O Level and A Level searches?
Many families search for “Edexcel O Level” when they mean Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (IGCSE). “Edexcel A Level” usually means Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL).
Registration
How do I register for a Pearson exam?
Official exam entries are made through Pearson and authorised examination centres (or school centres). We help students prepare academically and can guide you on typical next steps, but final registration is with Pearson/the centre.
Can you enter me for exams as a private candidate?
No. We do not act as a Pearson examination centre. Private candidates normally register through centres such as the British Council or other Pearson-authorised centres that accept private entries in their country.
Where do I find official exam centres?
Use Pearson’s official find-a-centre tools on qualifications.pearson.com, and check your local British Council school-exams pages for private-candidate windows. Always confirm subjects and deadlines with the centre you choose.
Exam day
What should I bring on exam day?
Typically: valid photo ID accepted by the centre, your statement of entry if issued, and only approved stationery. Leave phones and notes outside. Follow your centre’s candidate instructions exactly.
Do you run the exam hall?
No. Exam halls are run by authorised centres. Our role is academic preparation before exam day.

Results are released through your examination centre / Pearson processes. The centre that entered you issues access details. We cannot publish board results or issue certificates.

No. Certificates and official documents come from Pearson via your centre. Contact the centre that entered you for certificate queries.
