  • UK qualifications are recognised byGovernments, Universities, Professionalbodies and Employers around the world.

  • I enjoyed studying for my O and A levelexaminations very much. I know oneshould not really use "enjoy" and "study"in the same sentence, but I really didenjoy it. I was learning new things everyday, and they all seemed fascinating. Ithink that the syllabi for O and A levelsare structured very well; they start slowenough to not induce despair buteventually go deep enough to give youa sense of achievement. There was hardlyanything I found confusing in the syllabi.The curriculum made it easy to learn, tobe not frustrated and to set yourselfgoals. The expectations of the examinerswere absolutely clear.

  • Having pursued CIE qualifications like Oand A Level with serious interest andcommitment, I always find myself wellprepared to overcome any academicchallenge confronting me. No matter whatdiscipline a student chooses to study, CIEsyllabi are designed to provide not just acomprehensive overview of relevantconcepts but also critical information liketrade-offs, advantages and disadvantagesof each one of them in real life applications.In other words, CIE equips students withwhat is needed to indulge in constructiveanalysis and criticism of the informationfed into them. It helps them justify the useof whatever concept is under considerationand contextualize information accordingto given circumstances in different casestudies.
