What is the Cambridge IGCSE qualification?

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 exam11 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.
