Preparatory Course for Singapore GCE O-Level Examination

Can International Students Take the GCE O-Level Exam?

Yes, foreign students can take the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level (GCE O-Level) examination as long as they are at least 15 years old by 1st January of the exam year. It is an annual national exam taken by local Singaporean students upon completing their secondary school education (equivalent to Year 11 or Grade 11 in other countries).

Where Can International Students Go After GCE O-Level?

The Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level certificate is highly recognised worldwide, opening doors to various educational pathways. Here are the three most popular options:

Junior Colleges (JC): Students can enroll in a two-year pre-university programme to obtain the Singapore GCE A-Level certificate, which is a common prerequisite for admission to top local universities, such as the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Polytechnics: Students can pursue a Diploma program in one of Singapore’s polytechnics, where students benefit from a hands-on, practical curriculum across diverse fields like Business, Engineering, and more.
Foundation Programme: For those looking to study abroad, GCE O-Level results can be used to apply for Foundation programmes at international universities, providing a stepping stone to a global education.

Becoming A Singapore Permanent Resident (PR)

Under Singapore government regulations, international students can apply for Permanent Residency (PR) status by successfully passing at least one national exam, such as the PSLE, GCE O-Level, or GCE A-Level.

By enrolling your child in a GCE O-Level Preparatory Course, they will receive expert guidance from experienced teachers to help them excel. With successful exam results, your child can advance to prestigious government institutions like Junior Colleges or Polytechnics and apply for Singapore PR!
