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 General Certificate of Education (GCE) is one of the most internationally recognised qualifications as secondary level. GCE examinations are set by the University of Cambridge International Examinations.
You can take this qualification at the Advanced Subsidiary (AS)level or 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.
The Advanced Subsidiary is offered in most subjects and became available for the first time in 2001. The Subsidiary is a new way of facilitating staged assessment. The subject content of the new A Level syllabuses has been subdivided into two parts: the AS syllabus content, which is expected to be covered in the first half of the course, and the second part of the syllabus, commonly referred to as A2, taken at the end of the second year of study. In terms of the UCAS tariff, the Advanced Subsidiary is worth half the points of a GCE Advanced level qualification. There are certain subjects that are only available at AS-level and can be taken as free-standing qualification.
An A-level is an Advanced level GCE qualification. This examination is normally taken after two years of A-level study, after you have taken your second level exam(s). You can take any number of A-levels; this will often depend on the qualifications that your chosen institution demands.
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. AS levels are accepted in all UK universities as half of the A-levels. For the details of tarrif operated by the UK Universities and Colleges Admission Service please visit UCAS website.
You cantake an AS or A-level if you have completed your secondary education. Three subjects at A-level and one General Paper at AS-level is eqiuivalent to the Intermediate level in Nepal. A-level examinations are normally taken by the student at the age of 18 but can be taken at any age.
It would be best to prepare through one of these institutions. Each school and college varies in the number and type of subjects they offer and duration of the AS and A-level courses.
