The Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) course is designed for N-Level and ITE graduates to build foundational knowledge and further their education. It is developed and awarded by the Cambridge Assessment International Examinations (CAIE). The Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O-level qualifications are equivalent grade for grade¹, thus students can consider taking up our 5-month IGCSE preparatory course* instead of becoming an O-level private candidate. With an IGCSE qualification, one can work his/her way up to a Bachelor’s Degree. 1 https://help.cambridgeinternational.org/hc/en-gb/articles/115004449425-What-is-the-difference-between-Cambridge-IGCSE-and-Cambridge-O-Levels-

Focus on Employability
In 2024, more than 8 in 10 PSB Academy graduates were employed within six months after final exam1. 1 All statistics are based on PSB Academy Graduate Employment Survey 2024 conducted by Kadence International Pte Ltd for graduating cohorts from 2023. A total of 801 graduates participated in this survey as respondents, of which 44% are full-time (FT) graduates and 56% are part-time (PT) graduates. This survey is not the same survey conducted by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). As a result, the SSG Graduate Employment Survey may not be directly comparable due to differences in the sample size scope between the two surveys.
