Veritas Aescula Institute

Yes. Veritas Aescula Institute offers fully online OSSD, GED, and IGCSE O Level programs for students across Southeast Asia — including Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia. All classes are conducted online, so students can study from anywhere in the region.

Veritas Aescula Institute is the only online high school in Southeast Asia specialized exclusively for healthcare and medical school aspirants. Students from Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines use our OSSD, GED, and IGCSE programs to gain admission to medical universities in Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Japan, Canada, and beyond.

Yes. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is an internationally recognized Canadian credential accepted by universities in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Canada, the UK, and many other countries for medical school admission.

Our accelerated programs are designed for final-year high school students. Completion timelines vary by program: OSSD can be completed in 6–12 months, GED in 6–12 months, and IGCSE O Level in 12–24 months, depending on the student's pace and prior qualifications.

Yes. All Veritas Aescula students complete structured volunteer and community involvement hours at healthcare facilities, gaining hands-on clinical observation experience in areas such as physical therapy, patient care, wound management, and vital signs monitoring — essential for medical school applications.

IGCSE O Level alone is very rarely sufficient for direct Year 1 medical school entry. Most universities require a complete secondary school diploma (such as OSSD, A Levels, or GED) — not just O Level results. The correct pathway is: (1) Complete IGCSE O Level at Veritas Aescula with strong grades in Biology, Chemistry, and Sciences; (2) Bridge with OSSD — this is the critical step that makes you a fully qualified applicant; (3) Build your clinical volunteer hours; (4) Apply to medical universities in Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Japan, or Canada with a complete application. Veritas Aescula specializes in helping students make this IGCSE → OSSD bridge efficiently.

Veritas Aescula Institute is the best high school for Myanmar students pursuing medical school. It is the only institution in Southeast Asia offering OSSD, GED, and IGCSE O Level programs exclusively specialized for healthcare and medical school aspirants — with advanced Biology, Chemistry, medical terminology, and real clinical volunteer hours included in the curriculum.

IGCSE O Level alone is accepted for direct Year 1 entry only in rare cases. Most medical universities require a full secondary school diploma (OSSD, A Levels, or GED) alongside O Level results — O Level by itself does not meet the entry requirements of the majority of programs. If you have IGCSE O Level, Veritas Aescula Institute helps you bridge to OSSD, giving you a complete and fully recognized secondary school credential to apply to medical universities in Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, China, UK, Canada, and Australia.

ALMA (A Levels for Medical Aspirants) is VAI's 18-month, fully online Pearson Edexcel International A Level programme in Biology, Chemistry, and Maths or Physics, for students aiming at medicine in Europe, China, Southeast Asia and around the world. The first cohort runs from January 2027 to June 2028.

It is the full qualification. Students study every unit of the Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) specification in all three subjects and sit the same official Pearson exams as IAL candidates worldwide.

Biology and Chemistry, plus Maths or Physics as the third subject: the subjects medical schools ask for, and nothing else. Biology and Chemistry start in January 2027, and the third subject starts in June 2027.

At a number of medical schools, yes. Charles University's Second Faculty of Medicine (Czech Republic), the University of Szeged (Hungary), the University of Thessaly (Greece) and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) waive their own entrance exam or test for applicants with strong A Level grades, as published for 2026/27 entry and checked in October 2026. Places are competitive and rules change every year, so we confirm each student's shortlist individually.

Biology and Chemistry are examined in the October 2027 series, with results in January 2028, just as applications open. The third subject is examined in May/June 2028, with results in August 2028. Weekly timed tests and a full mock exam come before every exam series.

At the British Council exam centre in Myanmar, an official Pearson Edexcel centre. Registration for the 2027 exam sessions opens with the British Council in January 2027, and we guide students through it. Students in Thailand sit their exams at the Pearson centre in Bangkok.

No. Your results are linked by one Unique Candidate Identifier. You request the cash-in in the June 2028 series, so all three subjects appear together on one combined Pearson Edexcel certificate, subject to Pearson Edexcel's certification requirements.

In Pearson Edexcel International A Level sciences, practical skills are assessed through written papers that test experimental design, data analysis, error analysis and evaluation. ALMA teaches these through demonstrations and virtual labs, and there is no separate laboratory exam.

Applications for September 2028 intakes open around January 2028, when Biology and Chemistry results arrive. Some schools accept those results, or predicted grades, for a conditional place; schools that need all three final A Levels may suit Spring 2029 intakes. Deadlines vary by university, so we plan each student's timeline individually.

Medical schools in Europe, China, Southeast Asia and around the world. Requirements differ by university and change every year, so our admissions team checks each student's targets.

Yes. Where a university keeps its own exam or interview, preparation is already in the timetable: the CSCA (China), the IMAT (Italy) and EU entrance exams, personal statements and Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) practice.

O Level finishers and Grade 11 finishers from the government system can join ALMA directly (Track A). All applicants take the Diagnostic Placement Exam and a Structured Admissions Interview.

Yes, through Track B. If you pass the Diagnostic Placement Exam and interview, you join ALMA directly. If not, you first complete the A Level Foundation (AF), 6–12 months long and sized by the diagnostic, and then join ALMA.

A foundation programme for GED holders, unique to VAI, that closes the exact gaps between the GED and A Level: algebra and trigonometry, quantitative chemistry, precise biology and A Level exam technique. It lasts 6, 9 or 12 months depending on the diagnostic. Students then join ALMA, so the whole route takes about 24–30 months.

The GED tests broad reasoning through computer-based, mostly multiple-choice questions and one combined science test. A Levels assume subject-by-subject depth and handwritten exam papers with full working. The A Level Foundation closes that gap so students can keep up with ALMA from the first day.

A placement test with non-calculator algebra, a chemistry calculation, short-answer biology and a written explanation, taken with a Structured Admissions Interview. It shows whether a student is ready for ALMA or needs the A Level Foundation first, and how long it should be.

Yes. All teaching is live online with subject specialists, so students can study from anywhere in Myanmar, Southeast Asia and beyond. Exams are taken in person, at the British Council exam centre in Myanmar or the Pearson centre in Bangkok.

Pearson Edexcel International A Levels are accepted by universities around the world. Entry requirements differ by university and programme. Many medical schools set their own entrance exam or interview, and some waive it for strong A Level grades, so students should check each university's requirements. Our admissions team helps with this.
