A level - Cambridge

O – Level is the final certification for secondary school, to be taken at fifth or year 11 at approximately age 17 (or age group 14-16). Students that have completed O-Level are considered to have completed formal education. They can further their studies to A-Level ( at their school’s sixth form or private colleges), Foundation Courses or diploma courses, or simply leaving school.

O Level

O-Levels were predominantly exam-based; this had advantages for students in Part-time or Evening Education.

Cambridge O Level curriculum

Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognised qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and UK GCSE. Cambridge O Level provides learners with excellent preparation for academic progression to Cambridge Advanced as well as other progression routes. We designed Cambridge O Level for an international audience. It is sensitive to the needs of different countries and for learners whose first language may not be English. This is acknowledged during the assessment process. In some countries, schools use Cambridge O Level as an international alternative or addition to the local government's examination.
