O LEVEL ACADEMIC

Who will issue your certificate?

University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is the world's largest provider of international qualifications. The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) is the body responsible for the administration of public examinations in primary and secondary education in Zimbabwe. Both boards are responsible for the quality assessment of candidates' learning and performance, as well as the awarding of nationally and internationally recognized certificates at different levels of the school education system. The broad aim of the qualifications is to develop students' skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving.

What exams will you write?

'O' Level Academic  students write  mid-year mock examinations, and the final CAMBRIDGE or ZIMSEC examinations at the end of the year. The results of the mock exams are particularly important as they are used to identify any gaps in the student's knowledge, so that the teacher can give the students further assistance before the all-important final examinations.

 

When and where are the classes and what are the fees?

Lessons are offered at different times on different campuses, with some lessons being held during the day, and others in the evening or at weekends. Often the same course can be studied at a variety of different times, so you can choose the one which is more convenient to you.
