Do you want to study at an institute for further or higher education? Do you want to study for professional qualifications in the UK? Then the General Certificate of Education (GCE) could help you. You can register and take a London Examinations International or a Cambridge International Examinations qualification with us.
The GCE is one of the most internationally recognised qualification. 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. The Ordinary level has been replaced by GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) in UK schools; however,it is still available to international students. We advise you to take a preparation course that specifically follows a syllabus if you want to take either of these exams.
An O-level is standard qualification for school leavers in the UK, usually taken in their final year, at the age of fifteen/sixteen. You can take any number of O-levels, depending on the qualifications that your chosen institutions ask for. Most students in UK schools take up to nine O-levels after studying for two to three years in their chosen subjects.
You need to take an exam at O-level before you can study at A-level. You also need to check that the O-level qualification you want is recognised by the institution where you want to study your A-level. Qualifications at O-level level are sometimes demanded by universities in addition to those at A-level.
You can take an O-level if you have completed five years of secondary education (under the old system) or completed Junior Secondary School (JSS).
An A-level is an Advanced level GCE qualification. This exam is normally taken after two years of A-level study, after you have taken your O-level exams. You can take any number of A-levels; this will often depend on the qualifications that your chosen institution has asked for. In the UK, many college student take three or four A-levels for their final two years of study.
Good A-level results can give you access to undergraduate studies at some of the best higher education learning institutions in the world. A-level qualifications can also give you access to professional and vocational courses.
You can take an A-level if you have a GCSE qualification (usually in the same subject that you want to study at A-level; however, some A-levels are not available as GCSE subjects, such as theatre studies, psychology and politics).
We offer a wide range of London and Cambridge exams. However, some exams require special facilities or an accredited examiner, which we cannot provide. Please contact us for an updated list of the subjects we currently offer.
