University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) are the world’s largest provider of international qualifications for 14-19 year olds. 9,000 schools in over 160 countries are part of the Cambridge learning community.

For more information about CIE certificates, please view the links on the left of this page. To register for a CIE exam with the British Council, please read through the frequently asked questions below. If you would like to apply for your school to become a CIE attached centre, please find more information here.

WHAT IS THE IGCSE?
Recognised throughout the world, the IGCSE develops vital educational skills, including recall of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, team work and investigative skills. Normally studied over two years with candidates taking the exam at 16, the exams cater for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects.
What is the GCE?
The General Certificate of Education (GCE) is one of the most internationally recognised qualifications. You can take this qualification at the Ordinary (O) or the Advanced (A) levels, depending on what you need it for and the course you intend to follow. We advise you to take a preparation course that specifically follows a syllabus if you want to take either of these exams.
Where are CIE qualifications recognized?
CIE qualifications are recognized internationally. For more information please visit the CIE recognition webpage.
