Is the English iGCSE worth 2?

I'm very confused, I'm sure I've seen something before saying they're only worth one, whereas others say they're worth two. Are there two different types? I'm trying to work out how many GCSE's/ iGCSE's I'll have, but I'm stuck on this.

Thank you!

Are you doing GCSE English literature and GCSE English language, or are you only doing one of them e.g just GCSE English Language?

I believe the course includes both, but they're combined.

What’s the name of the GCSE qualification that you’ll be doing for English (and the exam code)?

Usually English Literature and Language are counted as two separate qualifications.

So you’ll have GCSE English language, then GCSE English Literature (each with their own exam code I think).
