Unlike schools, home educators have the flexibility to adapt the pace and sequence of these standards. Many parents use the Cambridge Pathway to prepare students for international qualifications like IGCSEs, which are widely accepted for university entrance globally.
Student achievement is typically assessed through 'Progression Tests' at the end of each stage and 'Checkpoint' exams at the end of Stage 6 (Primary) and Stage 9 (Lower Secondary). Formal qualifications are obtained through IGCSE and A-Level examinations administered by registered exam centers.
