Discover the HPQ & EPQ with GroundMark Learning
As part of our long-standing partnership with GroundMark Learning, we’re delighted to continue offering home learners two flexible qualifications: the Level 2 Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) and the Level 3 Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
These online courses give candidates the unique opportunity to dive deep into a topic they are truly passionate about, all while building essential research, critical thinking, and independent study skills.
Find the Right Path for Your Study Goals
- The HPQ (Level 2): Equivalent to half a GCSE, the HPQ is an ideal foundation for candidates preparing for college or sixth form. It integrates smoothly with a standard GCSE curriculum and demonstrates to admissions teams that a candidate can manage independent projects.
- The EPQ (Level 3): Equivalent to half an A Level, the EPQ is highly valued by universities. Completing a strong EPQ shows advanced academic readiness and can even lead to lower grade offers from top universities. It works alongside A Levels or alternative post-16 study.
Whether you’re exploring a future career, building a standout college application, or aiming for a top university spot, these project qualifications give home learners the structure and confidence to succeed.
