The General Certificate of Education (GCE) Board plays a crucial role in the administration and issuance of certificates and result slips for students in Cameroon. If you've recently written the GCE Ordinary Level or GCE Advanced Level, it's important to understand how results are communicated, how to collect your certificates, and what to do in case of lost certificates. This guide provides detailed information on all these aspects.
Availability of GCE Results
Once the GCE results are released, a results broadcast code-named Form G4/T4 is sent to each Registration Centre. This document includes the name of the candidate and the grades obtained in each subject. Additionally, individual statements of results (Results Slips) will be distributed to candidates through the Chief of Centre. Candidates do not receive their results directly from the GCE Board.
How to Inquire About Your GCE Results
If you have any concerns regarding your results, you must address them through your Chief of Centre, who will forward the inquiry to the GCE Board. The Board also communicates results to universities and other educational authorities when requested, without prior authorization from candidates.
How to Obtain Your GCE Certificate
Issuance of Certificates
Certificates are typically available six (6) months after results are published. They are sent to the Chief of Centre for distribution to candidates.
Candidates must collect their certificates personally or provide legal authorization for someone else to collect it.
External candidates must present their National Identity Card when collecting their certificates.
Certificates not collected by the end of March following the release of results will be returned to the GCE Board Headquarters in Buea or the Regional Office in Bamenda.
Important Conditions for GCE Certificates
Certificates remain the property of the GCE Board.
The Board reserves the right to withhold or cancel a certificate.
All passed subjects from the same exam session will appear on a single certificate.
Candidates who pass both Ordinary Level and Advanced Level in the same year will receive separate certificates for each level.
Lost GCE Certificates & Duplicate Requests
If you lose your GCE certificate or result slip, you can request a duplicate copy under the following conditions:
How to Apply for a Duplicate Certificate/Result Slip
Write an application addressed to the Registrar of the GCE Board.
Provide a Certificate of Loss issued by the police or another constituted authority.
Pay the duplicate certificate/result slip fee (amount determined by the Board).
Allow a minimum processing time of two working days.
Enquiries Upon Results & Review Requests
The GCE Board maintains strict policies regarding results review:
The marking of examination papers is final and binding.
Candidates or parents cannot directly request a remarking or review.
If a significant discrepancy exists between a candidate’s expected and actual performance, a review request can be made through the Chief of Centre.
Fees apply for review requests, and details can be obtained from the GCE Board.
