Benefits of becoming a Cambridge English Preparation Centre:
Top business schools and employers worldwide use Cambridge English exams for recruitment, training and staff development. Our exam centre offers flexible and tailored solutions for companies and institutions.
By accepting Cambridge English exams, you can objectively assess candidates' English language skills. The free Online Results Verification Service adds an extra layer of security by allowing your institution to check candidates' results online.
Test results are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) - the international framework for describing language ability - so you can set English proficiency levels for each role and grade within your organisation.
Cambridge English exams provide valuable insight to help you plan effective English language programmes. Clear, easy-to-use results allow you to track progress over time.
Every organisation has unique language needs. Cambridge English Qualifications allow you to assess the type and level of English required for each job role, whether general or business English, and across different language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Employees who interact with international clients and partners need to continually improve their English communication skills. Cambridge English offers a wide range of learning materials to support your employees' professional development.
