Title: GCE 'O' Level

Level:

Description:
University of Cambridge:
Candidates may write as many subjects as they choose and a certificate will be awarded showing in which subjects they have achieved grades between A and D. Grade C and above is considered to be an 'O' level pass.

The College offers tuition in the following syllabuses:
1123 English Language
4004/24 Mathematics

7110 Principles of Accounts
7100 Commerce

Students can decide how many subjects to write and which they want to study. In making this choice, the College advises students to consider the wishes of their employer if they are working, or the requirements of the career they intend to follow. English and Maths are subjects that are general and essential for most careers.

Students can enter the examination on a single subject basis since the examining body will give students a Certificate showing the subjects they have passed. Students can then accumulate passes until they have achieved the number they set as their target.
