Offering you even greater choice and flexibility

In the year in which we celebrate our centenary and have introduced our new

identity, this brochure offers our widest ever range of language assessment, teaching

qualifications, admissions tests and other educational services.

Cambridge English exams make an enormous difference to the lives of millions of

learners all over the world. Our assessments and tests help to ensure that learners

focus on the knowledge and skills they need in the real world.

‘Cambridge English’ is a concept we share with Cambridge University Press and we

work together closely to provide a wide range of official preparation materials and other

resources to give teachers and candidates the best possible support when preparing for

the exams.

Our Cambridge English Teacher programme continues to grow, with institutional

membership now offering schools and other learning institutions flexible professional

development for their teachers.

Featuring for the first time in this brochure is the Admissions Testing Service – a

relatively new part of our organisation. In addition to the Occupational English Test

institutions, employers and other organisations.

We have also included a section on CaMLA – our collaboration with the University of

We believe that ours is the most comprehensive range of assessments, preparation and

high-quality support in place.

Computer-based tests are ideal for candidates more

comfortable with a keyboard and mouse than with paper

and pencil. They also offer more exam dates throughout

the year and permit shorter registration times – some

exams allow candidates to register as little as a week

before taking their test.

Our Cambridge English for Schools range of exams

features content particularly targeted at the interests and

experience of school-aged learners.

The table below gives you useful information about the

formats in which each exam is available.

internationally to describe language ability. It plays a

central role in language and education policy worldwide.

All of our English language exams are developed in

accordance with the CEFR and the top row of the chart

below shows you the level at which each exam

is assessed.
