I’ve taken the PET in secondary school and the FCE exam when I started high school, and I think that each level has given me more tools to improve my skills … Cambridge has really given me a head start in my future career.

The UNDP has been using BULATS for nearly 10 years and has always been very impressed with its tests both in terms of the quality and the service given. As UNDP comprises staff from many different countries, English proves to be crucial in facilitating effective communication among all staff. We use BULATS as an official tool to test our staff’s English levels because we know it is a global standard test delivered in a very helpful, friendly and swift manner.

I am proud to have this well-known international certificate … [YLE]. I enjoyed the exam very much; nice pictures, words, close to my world. I also learned what it is like to take an international exam. This is good for me as I’ll have to take international exams in the future.

Before deciding to accept the IELTS as an alternative to TOEFL, I sat for the exam myself and can attest to the genuine rigor it represents. Candidates are tested not just on comprehension of written and spoken English but further on understanding and producing English of an academic nature.

It is essential to have self-confidence and the confirmation that you can keep up in today’s global business world. The Cambridge BEC Higher certificate bestows this self-confidence because it makes effective communication possible on the one hand and on the other increases the market value of the person who has it.

I consider the Cambridge examinations to include all the skills necessary for learning English – Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Regardless of whether or not students wish to take the examinations, I find that the preparation for these exams in
my classes is also appropriate
for the skills needed in school, college or university.
