A-LEVEL CLASSES
The CCZA A-Levels are termed Application Level subjects. We help learners explore and find their niche and prepare themselves for further purpose and self-sufficiency. Whatever tools they gain are able to be applied in their ever improving lives.
The A-Levels are a range of specialised subjects that on their own enable a learner to apply themselves practically in the work force and as entrepreneurs.
We offer two sessions in a year with exams at the end of each session. Learners can take a maximum of three subjects per session. Subjects may sometimes be seasonal for maximised practical study opportunities.
A-Level Subjects offered
Awareness & Advocacy
Entrepreneurship
Development Studies
Analytical Statistics

A-Levels are designed for flexibility and discipline
The CCZA A-Level program allows for flexibility. We understand the demand for personal resources in everyday lives and we give our clients the space to design their personal learning program around their own availability of time and other personal resources.
The teaching and learning of A-Levels differs from common secondary school systems. The subjects are condensed and demand understanding rather than memorizing. We also encourage a more hands-on approach to subjects while theory learning is more of an introduction to the subject matter.
Each A-Level subject is composed of a number of Modules that require intensive study. The subjects while taught in class and the outdoors, remain largely self-taught with the help of provided materials, study and learning spaces. Being self-driven is necessary for any learner doing our A-Levels.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship does not always follow the rules of a structured business. Entrepreneurship is the creation or extraction of economic value from various resources focusing on innovation, risk-taking, and creating new ventures, whereas business is about managing existing operations and generating profits.
Entrepreneurship is a whole lifestyle of balance, discipline and endurance to oversee and build a brand long-term that handles several businesses. It can be a very lonely and difficult journey with seldom any assistance.

FOOD SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Food security is when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (1996 World Food Summit). Crucial though is also Food Sovereignty as without it then the definition is void.
With consideration to food sovereignty, the four main dimensions of food security that need simultaneous fulfillment and stability are availability of food, access to food, food utilization, and as long as they are nutritious types of food.
