Cambridge-English-Exams


Welcome to our Cambridge-English-Exams reference web-page!

Cambridge University has been providing the ESOL range of examinations for learners of English as a foreign language since ...the beginning of time!

Access the range of certificates directly from the links below.

Computer Based Testing

Some of the Cambridge-English-Exams are becoming available as computer-based tests.

This has increased the number of exam dates each year, and it also enables candidates to register for the exam as little as a week before taking it — making it more and more possible for candidates to take the exam when they are ready for it.

CEFR and 'Can Do'

The Common European Framework of Reference

Cambridge-English-Exams are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: published by the Council of Europe. This internationally recognised framework describes language ability in a scale of levels which ranges from A1 for beginners to C2 for those who have mastered a language

All Cambridge examination qualifications correspond to the six levels defined by the CEFR.

European Passport CEFR

Your foreign-language skills at a glance...

The following information is taken directly from the official website, more details can be found in the attached documents below.


QUOTE:The Language Passport provides an overview of your foreign-language skills for yourself and others.
It shows:

which languages you are familiar with; to which European levels (A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2) your knowledge of other languages corresponds, whereby the activities of Listening, Reading, Spoken interaction, Spoken production and Writing are each taken into account separately.

It includes what language learning and inter-cultural experiences you have had inside and outside school or training (for example, how much time you have spent in countries where other languages are spoken, or with which languages you have dealt with in educational, private or professional contexts); which language diplomas or certificates you have been awarded and to which European levels (A1 to C2) they correspond.

In the (blue) Language Passport folder you can also collect and present attestations for language learning experiences as well as language diplomas and certificates. In addition, you may wish to provide supplementary background information on your certificates and diplomas in order to make clear what skills and levels they represent.

The ELP provides detailed instructions on how to fill in the Language Passport and how to collect diplomas and attestations.

The ELP also contains a number of forms and worksheets that help you to fill in the Language Passport and to collect attestations and information on your language knowledge and inter-cultural experiences.
