Take Starters, Movers and Flyers exams
at the British Council

Cambridge Young Learner English Tests are aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 12 and are at three levels of assessment – Starters, Movers and Flyers – which correspond to the levels of our classes at the British Council. As such, they provide an appropriate first step towards the UCLES main suite of exams (e.g. KET and PET) which are designed for young people and adults. Read more.
If you are interested in your child doing one of these tests at the British Council at the end of the school-year (June), please contact Jana Pavlova. The date of exams will be 19 June 2010.
