Are you preparing for the upcoming Cameroon General Certificate of Education (GCE) examinations? Knowing the exact calendar is the first step to planning your revision effectively. In this guide, we break down the official examination schedule for the 2026 session, including both practical and written phases.
Summary of the 2026 Examination Calendar
The Cameroon GCE Board has structured the 2026 examination session to run through May and June. It is divided into two main parts:
- Practical Examinations: Monday, May 5, 2026, to Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
- Written Examinations (General and Technical/TVEE): Monday, June 2, 2026, to Thursday, June 18, 2026.
This timetable applies to all candidates sitting for the Ordinary Level (O-Level) and Advanced Level (A-Level) exams, as well as the Technical and Vocational Education Examinations (TVEE).
Preparing for the Practical Phase
The practical phase is crucial for science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and technical specialties.
- Ensure you familiarize yourself with your school's laboratory layout ahead of time.
- Review past GCE practical questions and sample setups. You can download helpful preparation notes in our GCE O-Level Board or ask older students for advice in the GCE A-Level Board.
- Always strictly follow laboratory safety guidelines and instruction leaflets provided by the examiners on the day of the exam.
Guidelines for the Written Phase
The written examinations will test your understanding of the syllabus across all registered subjects.
- Arrive Early: Be at your examination center at least 30 minutes before the start of each session.
- Authorized Materials: Only bring allowed writing materials, non-programmable calculators, and your official GCE registration slip.
- Double-check the Timetable: Timetables are subject-specific. Always cross-check the date and session (morning or afternoon) on your registration slip. If you notice any conflicts, report immediately to your Chief of Centre.

Understanding the History Mandate and Value of the Cameroon GCE Board The Cameroon General Certificate of Education GCE Board is one of the pillars of the country's secondary education. It is responsible for certifying academic achievements in the English-speaking sub-system of education. In this article, we explore the origins of the GCE Board, its official mandate, and its recent structural reforms. A Brief History of the Board Before the creation of the Board, exams in the English-speaking part of Cameroon were organized by the University of London and the West African Examinations Council WAEC. After years of advocacy by parents, teachers, and syndicates who wanted an autonomous local body, the Cameroon GCE Board was officially established by Presidential Decree No. 93/034 on March 1, 1993. The creation of the Board was a historic victory for quality assurance, ensuring that examinations reflected the local Cameroonian curriculum while maintaining international Anglo-Saxon standards. The Mandate of the GCE Board The Board is tasked with organizing and managing national examinations for both general and technical/vocational paths: - General Education: GCE Ordinary Level O-Level and GCE Advanced Level A-Level. - Technical and Vocational Education: The Technical and Vocational Education Examination TVEE at both Intermediate ITC and Advanced ATC levels. Its primary goal is to deliver valid, fair, and credible assessments that enjoy global recognition, allowing Cameroonian students to transition smoothly into local and international universities. Modern Reforms: The 2018 Reorganization To align with modern vocational training and professional standards, the President of the Republic signed Decree No. 2018/514 on October 22, 2018, reorganizing the GCE Board. Key changes introduced in this reform include: - Director General System: The executive head, formerly known as the Registrar, was redesignated as the Director General, assisted by a Deputy Director General. - Streamlined Board of Directors: The administrative board was reduced to seven members to increase operational efficiency. - TVEE Integration: The old technical GCE examinations were phased out and replaced with the comprehensive TVEE system Intermediate Technical Certificate and Advanced Technical Certificate to match the current demands of the labor market. Today, the Cameroon GCE Board continues to innovate, working towards digitalizing certificate verification and improving examination security.
