What is GCE 'O' Level
THE GCE 'O' LEVEL EXAMINATIONS
The GCE 'O' Level Examinations are nation-wide examinations held at the end of secondary four (10 Grade). These examinations are administered by the University of Cambridge jointly with Singapore and are recognised throughout the world.

Essential Services for Parents/ Students
How do you evaluate:
Credibility of School
- Every school claim they are the best.
Value of the Certificate
- Acceptability by Employer.
Relevancy of the Course
- Usefulness in Singapore, etc.
Extending Parental Love & Care
- Services to look after nitty-gritty.
FEC is not a school and our main duty is to protect the interest of our students and parents by arranging for our students to attend reliable schools and at the same time the relevant courses that are credible and useful when they seek for jobs in Singapore and elsewhere.
FEC represent the students/ parents in dealing with the schools. We help to monitor the school performance in delivering the course and parents to look after their children while students are in Singapore. FEC conduct monthly meetings with our students to check the progress of their studies and where necessary inform parents of any difficulty.
For the reason that we are not a school, we can give the best advice and assistance to our students so that they receive the best possible education while in Singapore.
We treat every student like our own children and provide the best option for them since we know the credibility of schools in Singapore and relevancy of the courses that they offer versus what is best for each student which are different.
Our services derive from the need of students and parents from foreign countries to enchance the success of their childrens education in Singapore.
We have been representing parents of students who study in Singapore for various programmes since the year 2004. Our students have since graduated with Diploma and Degree in different disciplines from Universities in Singapore and also private schools in Singapore.
