Exam Preparation

 

About CPE:

 

CPE is Cambridge ESOL's most advanced exam. It is aimed at people who use English for professional or study purposes.

 

How do I know if this is the right exam for me?

 

Can you . . .

• use English to advise on, or talk about complex or sensitive issues?
• understand the finer points of documents, correspondence and reports?

If you answered yes to the above, then CPE is the right exam for you.

• a CPE certificate is valid for life, you never need to take the exam again
• CPE is truly international, recognised around the world for business and study purposes
• hundreds of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise CPE as proof of proficiency in English
• CPE's 'Can Do' skills give you the confidence to use English in real situations.
