Do I need any form of certificate to start the Cambridge Baccalaureat?
No. The only requirements are to be more than 16 years old when applying, and to have B2 level English.
How does the Cambridge Baccalaureat work?
To receive your high school diploma equivalent from Cambridge Assessment International Education, you’ll need to pass a final exam within 12 months of starting the programme. We will provide you with all the necessary materials needed to prepare for the Cambridge examination. We provide this through synchronous (live) and asynchronous (recorded) teaching, scripts, Q&A, Slides, Videos, Podcasts, etc.
Do I have to pay anything to get my high school diploma?
The only fees you will be charged are by Cambridge, for the final exam, and the tuition fees for your courses of the Bachelor’s degree programme. There are no fees for the Study Pathway courses and materials – they are free of charge.
What happens if I fail the final exam?
If you do not pass any or all of your exams, you can re-register and wait for the next date to take the exam again (by your own means). That means you have 2 chances of passing the final exam during the duration of your A-Levels. If you fail to pass the exam on your 2nd attempt, you can try again, by your own means and not as an IU member. You have unlimited chances of taking the exam independently.
