Course Description:

General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A-Levels) is a globally recognized qualification for secondary-level education offered by Cambridge International Education (CIE) in more than 160 countries. CIE is the world's leading provider of international education for 3 to 19-year-olds and part of the University of Cambridge.

GCE 'A' Level is one of the most sought-after courses in the world due to its stream flexibility, gold standard academic curriculum, and global recognition. This acts as a reliable credential for students who want to study overseas, whether in the USA, UK, Canada or Australia. A-levels prepare students to meet the international learning standards. In Nepal, 'A' Level is equivalent to Secondary (10+2) / two-year Intermediate level studies or PCL/Diploma Level.

The A Levels programme demands a multi-dimensional approach, which includes providing evidence of in-depth subject knowledge and understanding; developing an ability to think logically; presenting reasoned explanations; applying theoretical knowledge; and communicating ideas and feelings in a clear and logical manner.

A-levels can help acquire skills such as:
- Analytical Thinking
- Critical Thinking
- Knowledge Management
- Persuasion and Developing an Argument
- Case Study Development
- Research Skills
- Drawing Conclusions

Studying for the A Levels qualification is rigorous and demands a high academic standard of achievement.

Course Duration
Students usually complete A-levels in two years. In the first year, you study the first half of the A-level, which is called the AS-level. In the second year, you study the A2-level. Your combined result from both years is your A-level grade. A-levels are assessed by a mixture of practical coursework and exams in both years (AS and A2).

Examination
CIE (Cambridge International Examination) conducts the A Level exam twice a year (after every six months) i.e. May / June session and October / November session.
