Extended certification - recognising candidates' true achievement
6 April 2011
Taking a Cambridge ESOL exam means a lot more than just obtaining proof of one's linguistic knowledge. It also stands as evidence of the candidate’s thorough preparation towards it as well as the use of English in the most effective manner; a granted ability which can more than often expand to levels higher than those initially sought for and achieved.
In recognition of candidates' efforts and of their true achievement in passing any of its exams, Cambridge ESOL has developed a new initiative. This initiative is called "Extended certification" and is aimed at giving many candidates additional credit for the language skills they have demonstrated in a Cambridge ESOL examination. It also aims at helping universities, employers and other organisations obtain a clearer picture of how candidates' results relate to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Extended certification applies to:
Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE)
Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE)
Cambridge English: First (FCE)
Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET) and Preliminary for Schools
Cambridge English: Key (KET) and Key for Schools
Business English Certificates: Preliminary, Vantage and Higher (BEC)
Extended certification will be rolled out for all the exams listed above during 2011, with most of the new certification arrangements in place for exams in March 2011.
