The University of Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Exams are normally held twice a year in June and December (and also March for FCE and CAE) at over twenty venues ranging from the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira to Guimarães and Braga in the North of Portugal and the Algarve in the South.   

EXAMS       

ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXAMS   

Take one of the main Cambridge exams: KET, PET, FCE, CAE or CPE. These exams are internationally recognised by educational institutions and employers.   

KET - KEY ENGLISH TEST        

Achieving KET offers the personal satisfaction of demonstrating enough English ability in common daily situations and in areas if immediate relevance.    

PET - PRELIMINARY ENGLISH TEST         is devised to certify that command of English is good enough to exchange familiar information and instructions in the workplace or in everyday communication.   

FCE - FIRST CERTIFICATE IN ENGLISH        

The First Certificate in English (FCE) is widely recognised among educational institutions and companies worldwide as accreditation of an intermediate English language ability.   

CAE - CERTIFICATE IN ADVANCED ENGLISH        

Given the wide difference between the First Certificate in English and the Certificate of Proficiency in English, CAE is the right challenge to help make the transition towards the highest level.   

CPE - CERT. OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH        

The Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) is widely recognised as the standard for University entrance. Professional bodies and the corporate sector acknowledge CPE as the certification of a near native command of English. It is recognised by the Ministry of Education to teach in primary schools   

BEC - BUSINESS ENGLISH CERTIFICATES
