Okay now Alicia, though some of your questions have been answered already but now I'm gonna take time to boldly answer your questions just in the sequence that you have asked them... As best as I can. cheesy

Aliciakeys: Majority of us must have heard about Cambridge A levels, one way or the other but not everyone knows what it really entails or details about it.. Providing details about A levels will really help someone in need of it, someone like me..
Details required;

(1) Name of schools accredited for Cambridge A levels. (preferrably Enugu State) : I've no idea as regards any accredited centres in Enugu. But in IBadan, there are quite a good number of them; EAC, JSAY, ACHIEVERS, ASCENDING COLLEGE, SPIN TUTORIALS, ACA, etcetera.

(2) Location of schools: The Educational Advancement Centre (EAC), is located at No. 45, Awolowo Avenue, Old Bodija, Ibadan, Nigeria.

(3) Duration: It is usually a 10month crash programme. There are two diets in a year; May/June and October/November. It is usually preferable that you do the May/June diet.

(4) Fees range: If you're gonna be in the hostel, the total fees may run into say #400k (of which one is allowed to pay in installments). And that's not including all the books (which are rather not cheap) that you may need to buy. So considering that, one may budget like say #500k or thereabout. It may be more or less than that in other centres though.

(5) Requirements:A good O/level result. A few passports. You would also be required to pay for some form. And then you would be given a little general test. cheesy.

(6) Start date:If you're gonna do the May/June 2014 Diet, you should have started by August 2013. But then, there are always exceptions to every rule. Some persons enrol for just 3months, write the exams and come out with brilliant results, and some other persons enrol for close to 15months and still come out with woeful results... It all depends on you. Having said that, you could go ahead and register now, it's not too late yet.

(7) End date: The programme ends the day you write the last paper of the exams. cheesy.

[8] Benefits: Now, the most important benefit of the A/level programme is that it catapaults you straight to 200level in any university of your choice, both at home and Abroad (as long as you have the required grades). And just like someone said, it gives you an edge over those who only did Jamb. You would realise other benefits when you eventually start the programme. wink.

[9] etc: Now, I must add this... Cambridge A/level is totally different from JAMB. There are definitely gonna be a whole lotta distractions. You have to stay focused, resilient, determined, hardworking to achieve your desired goals. It's sure not gonna be easy, but I bet you, it'd be real worth it at the end... trust me. wink.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I urge YOU to take up the challenge. And as you do, be sure to set your targets real high so that par-adventure you fall, you'd fall just very close to the set target.

Now Alicia, I hope that does it. cheesy.


GOODLUCK!!

concerning the fees; there might have been an increase considering the economic situation in Nigeria but it's should be around 250k+ for 2 semesters and it includes feeding, laundry among others. I don't really know about the female hostel but the boys hostel is mostly 4 in a room. The answer to the last question belongs to you because it is hinged on your ability, seriousness, determination, prospective course and desired grades. It is actually 10months for the 2 semesters, just like my oga said, but some don't spend up to such duration and they've achieved their goals. Although, they will doubt you and want to discourage you not to write the exam because they feel the duration is too short and they don't want you to waste your money. However, if you're determined and insistent, they'll ask you to write a letter of undertaken just like I was asked to. In short, you must be very prepared to face the battle if you're writing this May/june because anybody going for medicine needs at least 13points( though some schools don't take that e.g. Unilag). So it's no child's play but you won't regret writing the exam. Can someone bear me witness?

The fees are non-refundable. And I wouldn' be in the best position to answer the question as regards how many people to a room as I never was in the hostel...

Re: Cambridge A Levels!!!!! by Amanda6(f): 9:30am On Dec 10, 2013
There is a uk exam body called edexcel and they offer A levels in january and may/june, they r recognised just lyk cambridge A level, so i'm just asking if starting Class in july/ august be enough to write Edexcel in january.edexcel is kind of easier than cambridge A level.
