The Cambridge ESOL Main Suite of Examinations are English language exams for adults whose first language is not English. They test how you actually use English to communicate on a day-to-day basis and in real-life situations. Each examination covers the four main language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. They are available at five different levels:
Key English Test (KET)
The KET test provides an early learning objective, enabling learners to meet their most urgent communication needs in English. It offers a basic qualification in English language. It is an elementary level standard.
Preliminary English Test (PET)
The PET exam tests the language skills needed to survive in social and work situations in an English-speaking environment.
First Certificate in English (FCE)
The FCE is an intermediate-level examination that requires a good standard in all four language skills. It is widely recognised in commerce, industry, and by educational institutions in Britain and overseas.
Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)
The CAE examination offers a high-level qualification in the language for those wishing to use English for professional or study purposes. It is recognised by the majority of British and international universities.
Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)
The CPE examination represents a very high level of competence and is recognised as fulfilling entrance requirements in English language by UK universities and many universities in other English-speaking countries.
