IGCSE – ‘O’ Level

International General Certificate of Secondary Education (the equivalent of Class X in Indian Boards) – ‘O’ – Ordinary Level is a qualification for students aged primarily between 14 and 16; this leads directly to other international programmes such as Cambridge International A and AS Levels, US Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. It also prepares students well for Indian +2 examinations.

‘AS’ Level

AS – Advanced Subsidiary Level (the equivalent of Class XI in Indian Boards) is a qualification for students aged primarily between 16 and 18 requiring one year of study – an additional year leads to a full ‘A’ Level. The AS Level represents the first half of a full level course.

‘A’ Level

A – Advanced Level (the equivalent of Standard XII in Indian Boards) is a qualification for students aged primarily between 17 and 19. ‘A’ Levels are accepted as proof of academic capability for entry into universities all over the world.

Note:

IGCSE is exclusively meant for our NRI parents/aspiring Indian parents to help globetrotters start young. The ‘A’ Level gives a cutting edge for the students to get admission not only for any Indian College / University but also into Colleges around the world with ease. All Universities in Europe, Australia and Canada exempt ‘A’ Level students from appearing for the IELTS and TOEFL exams.
