GCSE Astronomy course with Dark Sky Wales Training Services

This online astronomy course, delivered by Dark Sky Wales Training Services, invites learners on a fascinating journey through the universe, from the wonders of our own solar system to the mysteries of cosmology.

Taught entirely online via Moodle, the course combines weekly live Zoom lessons with a wealth of interactive resources, films, downloadable guides, and quizzes, all designed to make the subject both accessible and engaging.

With the support of expert tutors available through Q&A forums, one-to-one help, and an active learning community, students can gain confidence in their knowledge and skills while enjoying the flexibility of studying from home.

Over the course of your studies, you’ll explore everything from the movements of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, to the birth and death of stars, the discovery of exoplanets, and the future of space exploration.

Practical skills are at the heart of the programme, with guided observational projects and demonstrations that encourage learners to step outside and connect with the night sky.

The course builds steadily toward a final exam, supported every step of the way with revision sessions, practice assessments, and clear guidance.

More than just a qualification, this is a chance to spark curiosity, develop critical thinking, and discover the universe in an inspiring and supportive environment—perfect for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered what lies beyond.

Enrolments open with the course starting on the 9th September 2025. Lessons are recorded so that people can join at a later date with all learning materials made available.
