On 1 May 2011, the WF Islamic Education team organised a full day of support training for madaris students who will be taking the AQA GCSE this year. The training was conducted by Waheeda bai and Yasin bhai Rahim, who both have experience of teaching the GCSE in Wessex.

The students were trained on how best to revise and respond to exam questions.
Students commented:

Zahra from Leicester: I learned tips from other jamaat students

Hena from Leicester: I found the tips and the mock exam most useful

Abbas from Hyderi: It was useful but hard work

Zeeshan from Hyderi: I learnt how to answer each question

Zahra from Hyderi: I learned what to include and how to practice questions

Mohammed-Miqdad from Hyderi: I learnt how to structure my answers using the techniques

Muhammad from Wessex: I found it useful how to do the 6-mark questions

Ahmed from Wessex: It taught us how to answer questions nicely

Aliza from Hyderi: It was interesting, fun, lively, and was taught in a way that I will remember forever

Saher from Hyderi: It was very informative, tips that were given will help me in my exam. It was taught in such a lively way that everyone enjoyed.

Abbas from Hyderi: I am going to practice for the exams

Zahra from Hyderi: In the exams I know where to pick up marks that I was missing out on before
