CAMBRIDGE ESOL: EXAM LEVELS

Home > Exams > Cambridge ESOL exams > Cambridge ESOL: Exam levels

FIRST CERTIFICATE IN ENGLISH (FCE)
This exam is at the upper-intermediate or 'independent user' level. FCE is the most widely taken exam and has the most widespread recognition. At this level, learners can expect to be able to work or study in English speaking environment and cope easily as a tourist in English speaking country, although they might have some difficulty coping with unfamiliar situations and technical language.

CERTIFICATE IN ADVANCED ENGLISH (CAE)
At Cambridge level 4, this offers a lower-advanced language qualification for those who need to use English in their jobs. Many universities recognise CAE as an English language entry requirement. At this level, learners can be expected to cope confidently in most situations that would arise in an English speaking country - socially, professionally and in higher education.

CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH (CPE)
CPE is a high level examination for learners of English. It is also the fifth and highest level of the Cambridge main suite examination. At this stage, learners are approaching a standard of English similar to that of an educated native speaker, and they can be expected to cope in nearly all situations in an English speaking environment.
