Step-by-step progression
• As language learning can be a long process, it’s important to have regular milestones to aim for.
• Cambridge English Qualifications provide focus and pace to keep learners motivated, every step of the way.
• Each qualification targets a particular level of the Common European Framework of Reference (the CEFR) –
the standard used worldwide to benchmark language ability.
• Cambridge English Qualifications offer a seamless journey from Pre A1 Starters to C2 Proficiency.
Real-life communication skills
• The exams are based on authentic situations and test all four skills – speaking, writing, reading and listening
– so preparing for their exams helps learners develop the skills they need inside and outside the classroom.
Accepted and valued worldwide
• Cambridge English Qualifications are recognised by thousands of universities, employers and governments
around the world.
• They trust these qualifications as secure and reliable proof of English language ability.
• The qualifications are a mark of excellence and open doors to higher education and employment
opportunities.
Positive impact on learning and teaching

The Common European Framework
of Reference (CEFR)
Each Cambridge English Qualification targets a particular level

of the CEFR and provides a clear focus for study programmes.
• The CEFR is the international standard for describing language
ability.
• It has six levels starting at A1 (basic) through to C2 (expert).
• It describes what learners Can Do at each level of learning a
language.
• It covers all four key language skills: reading, writing, speaking,
listening.
• Cambridge Assessment English has been continuously involved
in the research and development of the CEFR.
