The Cambridge examinations are among the world's best-known qualifications for learners of English, taken by hundreds of thousands of candidates each year.
Examinations are available at various levels.
Each examination covers the four main language skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing and assesses the ability to use the language in authentic situations. It is an upper - intermediate level examination and is widely recognised in commerce and industry for contact with the public or for secretarial work in banking, airlines, catering, etc. It is also recognised by many university faculties, colleges and other institutions as fulfilling their English language requirements. At this level learners can be expected to cope confidently in most situations that would arise in an English speaking country socially, professionally and in higher education. CAE is accepted by a large number of universities and colleges throughout the world.
