Cambridge exams, administered in Poland by the British Council, are the most popular certified language qualifications in the world. The examination papers are prepared by Cambridge ESOL language experts and test communication skills of people whose mother tongue is other than English. All the examination tasks are based on day-to-day situations in which a candidate can find himself.

The registering institution is obliged to submit candidates’ (or their legal guardians’) authorisation that they agree to have their certificates collected by the institution’s representative.

IMPORTANT
Candidates’ results and certificates are kept by an exam centre for two years from the first day they are available for collection from that centre. Afterwards they are destroyed.
