Cambridge English examinations have a long-established and well-deserved reputation for excellence. Over 5.5 million people in 130 countries take the exams every year: It is essential to the quality of the exams and the continued reputation of Cambridge English, that each one of those candidates experiences a test that consistently meets the high standards set. The exams are specifically designed to be fair to all test takers, whatever their age, gender, nationality, first language, culture or ethnic background.
Our qualifications are designed specifically for school-aged students and are backed by extensive research into how children develop language skills. They give students regular milestones to keep them motivated and celebrate their progress.
As the creators of Cambridge English Qualifications, we provide a comprehensive range of exam preparation, support materials and resources for teachers and schools preparing students.
Better teaching leads to better outcomes for learners and we can help support teachers every step of the way. As the world’s leading provider of English teaching qualifications and courses, we offer a comprehensive range of training and support to help teachers continually develop their professional skills.
The exams are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), published by the Council of Europe, making simple for employers, universities and other organisations to specify levels of language ability and easy for learners to choose the right exam. Cambridge Assessment English was one of the organisations involved in the early development of this language benchmark, wich is used internationally to describe language ability. Cambridge English remains at the hearth of the development of the CEFR through being a key partner in English Profile, a research programme that will further develop the CEFR, providing detailed descriptions of learner English at each of the six levels.
