Cambridge English
KET, PET, FCE and CAE, from young learner levels up to advanced certification.
What Cambridge English exams are
Cambridge English qualifications are level-specific certificates (unlike IELTS or TOEFL, which report one score across any level): you sit the exam that matches your level, and pass or fail it at that level. KET and PET sit at A2/B1, FCE at B2, and CAE at C1, each mapped directly to the CEFR scale.
Exam format
How the exams are structured
Every level tests Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, with the paper format changing at each level. KET and PET are shorter and simpler, while FCE and CAE introduce longer texts, more demanding writing tasks (reports, reviews, essays), and a paired Speaking test with another candidate.
Who it's for
Who takes it
School-age students building a long-term English qualification pathway, and older students or professionals who want a permanently valid certificate (Cambridge certificates don't expire, unlike IELTS or TOEFL scores) at a specific, well-defined level.
How we prepare you
How we prepare you
Lessons follow the exact paper format at your target level from the first session, with past-paper timing practice throughout. Because Cambridge exams are pass/fail at a fixed level rather than scored on a sliding scale, we focus on closing specific gaps rather than general improvement: the difference between a pass and a fail is usually a handful of identifiable weak spots.
Frequently asked questions
Which level should I start at?
We assess your current level in the first lesson and recommend the Cambridge exam that matches it: sitting a level that's a stretch but achievable gets better long-term results than aiming too high or too low.
Do Cambridge certificates expire?
No, once you pass, the certificate is valid for life, which is one of the main reasons students choose Cambridge over IELTS or TOEFL for a long-term qualification.
