Increasingly, it's not just the language you know, it is what you can do with that language that makes the difference to success in life. That's why, at °®¶¹ÊÓƵ, we build real-life communication and performance into our assessments.
With over 850,000 candidates a year in more than 60 countries worldwide, °®¶¹ÊÓƵ qualifications are specifically designed to help students progress.
°®¶¹ÊÓƵ exams are externally regulated and trusted by universities, educational authorities and institutions around the world as robust evidence of English language ability. Read more about us.
As learners progress, their motivation for learning English changes. °®¶¹ÊÓƵ offers flexible pathways made up of clear, achievable steps to support each individual's English language learning journey from beginner to advanced.
An exam for every student at any stage of their learning journey
°®¶¹ÊÓƵ exams can be taken at any time once students are ready to take an exam at their ability level. To understand ability levels look at the descriptors in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to see what learners need to be able to do at each level.
Our exams can be taken in any °®¶¹ÊÓƵ-registered exam centre in countries around the world. Ask your local °®¶¹ÊÓƵ representative if there is a centre near you.
If you think your child would benefit from developing communicative English language skills and acquiring °®¶¹ÊÓƵ qualifications, ask your local schools if they offer °®¶¹ÊÓƵ exams.
