What Are the Cambridge Exams?

The Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) exams are globally recognised qualifications taken by students in over 160 countries. Cambridge Exam Registration are available here at The International School of Cape Town. These include:

• Cambridge O Level – Designed for students aged 14 to 16, Cambridge O Level is equivalent to the GCSE and follows a structured, exam-based format. It is commonly offered in regions such as Asia and Africa, with syllabuses adapted to suit local educational contexts.
• IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) – Also for students aged 14–16, offering a flexible and global approach.
• Cambridge International AS & A Levels – Advanced qualifications for students aged 16–19, accepted for university entry worldwide.

Cambridge qualifications are recognised by universities and employers around the world, providing students with a strong foundation for further education, career opportunities, and global mobility. As a result, The International School of Cape Town accepts Cambridge Exam Registrations from private and/or external students.
