CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH (CPE)
An essential advantage for higher education

The Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) is widely recognised as the standard for University entrance. Professional bodies and the corporate sector acknowledge CPE as the certification of a near native command of English. At this stage, learners are approaching a standard of English similar to that of an educated native speaker and they are expected to cope in most situations in an English-speaking environment.
