Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) is part of the University of Cambridge. Cambridge Ordinary Level or O Level is an internationally recognized qualification offered by CAIE.
O Level aims to prepare students for real world challenges by encouraging their curiosity and instilling a core passion for learning.
O Level qualification opens up many opportunities and is the stepping stone leading to A Levels (Advanced Level). Recognised by the world’s best universities and employers, O Level indicates the academic and personal potential of students.
Students aspiring to get a good grade in O Level are looking to discover better ways to achieve this milestone. Noon Academy, a social learning platform, is helping students unlock their excellence through its industry leading technology and pedagogy.
O-Level or Matriculation?
