Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level)

At the secondary level, pupils have the choice of three courses designed to match their learning abilities and interests. Pupils undergo four to five years of secondary education with different curricular emphases. Majority of pupils undergo the Special course or Express course while the rest enter the Normal course.

The Express course also prepares pupils for the GCE 'O' level examination in four years.

Whilst this is the structure of secondary education in Singapore, the 'O' levels has been the basic qualification from which students in Singapore hop onto further studies or embark on a career. It is advisable for students to aim at a pathway from 'O' levels to the various tertiary institutions/qualifications in Singapore before commencing on a rewarding career. A good 'O' level pass leads entry to POLYTECHNIC studies or 'A' levels - the target of both foreign and local students. 'O' levels also lead to various private courses leading to degrees at AEC.

Brighton is an established name in the 'O' level education and one of its centers is at JBM (JBM is the acronym the AEC's new campus centre Jalan Bukit Merah).
