Association of Cambridge Schools in New Zealand (ACSNZ)
ACSNZ is made up of schools affiliated to University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). These schools offer Cambridge IGCSE and/or Cambridge International AS and A Level qualifications.
ACSNZ provides a network of support for member schools and keeps them informed about developments related to CIE. ACSNZ liaises with academic bodies and institutions on university entrance and related matters. The development and administration of courses specially developed for New Zealand students is also coordinated by ACSNZ.
ACSNZ holds a regular conference, along with an annual awards ceremony called Brilliance in New Zealand. ACSNZ also arranges training in conjunction with CIE.
British Council
The British Council offers examinations services in around 95 countries and has been working closely with CIE for a number of years. One of the British Council's prime responsibilities is the impartial administration and conduct of Cambridge examinations, ensuring that CIE regulations are upheld and examination integrity is constantly maintained.
ESSARP
The English Speaking Scholastic Association of the River Plate (ESSARP) was founded in 1926.
ESSARP is responsible for the administration of all Cambridge examinations in schools in Argentina including Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge AICE and Cambridge ESOL examinations in bilingual schools in Argentina.
iNet
iNet (International Networking for Educational Transformation) works with schools and other organisations to transform education through the sharing of best practice and innovation. iNet offers a range of online and face-to-face support - including workshops, study tours, conferences, online forums, publications - to make this possible.
Over 3,000 member schools in more than 20 countries are members of iNet, including most secondary schools in England. iNet has also developed close links with partner organisations and academics in a number of countries.
iNet is an initiative of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), an independent, not for profit organisation that supports school networks focused on innovation and student achievement. CIE schools can join the iNet network, and CIE and iNet work together on a number of initiatives to benefit CIE schools.
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization
In 2001, CIE began working with the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization, a leading Global Professional Services organisation, who established the Abu-Ghazaleh Cambridge Information Technology Training Center (AGCA).
The Center delivers online training courses in IT together with additional learning resources to prepare prospective candidates for the International Diploma in IT Skills, developed by CIE. Individuals who successfully complete the course are awarded the International Diploma in IT Skills.
The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization has exclusivity for the International Diploma in IT Skills (Arabic version) and also offers the International Diploma in IT Skills in English on a non-exclusive basis.
