hello, I was wondering whether we receive the IGCSE certification only if we include in the seven or more subjects two languages and one subject from each of the other groups or if we generally obtain good marks in 7 subjects (could they cover just three groups for instance). thanks in advance

  Hi Cheryl,
  No, IGCSE certification is not in this way. As long as you have chosen the 3 core subjects from the 3 core groups: English, Science, Maths; the other 2 subjects could be from any groups.
  
  You will obtain 5 certificates, one for each subject. If you take 7 subjects, then you will obtain 7 certificates.

  Hi Maria,
  You have already fulfilled the 5 subjects in IGCSE. Please let us know what do you plan to do in the future, so we could provide better suggestions.
  
  You can’t do same subjects in the same examination session. For example, if you are taking A-Level Maths in May/June examination session, you can’t take IGCSE Maths in the same examination session.

      O-Level is different than IGCSE. Please make sure you have gotten the exam board right.
      
      To be a Fashion Designer, you may consider subjects such as: Art & Design / Design & Technology.
