Cambridge English Qualifications

Cambridge English Qualifications are in-depth exams that make learning English enjoyable, effective and rewarding.

Our qualifications are based on research into effective teaching and learning. They motivate people of all ages and abilities to learn English and develop practical skills for the real world. Each exam focuses on a level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), helping learners to improve their speaking, writing, reading and listening skills step by step.

Whatever your goals or ambitions, Cambridge English Qualifications are a mark of excellence, accepted and trusted by thousands of organisations worldwide.

Choose between paper-based and digital exams.

Candidates have a choice as to which type of exam they take. They can either take our traditional paper-based exams or — for an enhanced digital experience — they can now take our new digital exams. The qualification at the end is the same, but there are differences in the exam delivery, experience and timing.

Both tests are taken at an authorised exam centre, the candidate’s school or an external venue and include a face-to-face Speaking exam. They can take the Listening, Reading and Use of English, and Writing exams via their preferred method, either paper-based or digitally.
