To make sure the Diploma develops breadth as well as depth and provides students with a robust, rigorous and challenging programme, we introduced some changes which have been in effect since 2017. For more information about these changes visit www.cambridgeinternational.org/aice. To enter a candidate for the award, you must include the entry code ‘ADIP’ in addition to the syllabus and option codes for the subjects the candidate is taking in the series. You can enter candidates for syllabuses that count towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma either in a single series or over a maximum of five series within a 25-month period.

You must check that your candidates are eligible to receive the group award before submitting the group award entry because we do not do this. You will be charged the entry fee for the group award even if your candidate is not eligible for the group award. We will only refund the entry fee if you withdraw the entry before the entries deadline.
