Tailoring to the specific needs of governments, schools and universities by integrating our assessment services with existing curricula and national and regional frameworks. - Reports on performance
Our long experience of working with schools, education authorities and ministries has given us a deep understanding of reporting needs, which is backed by Cambridge ESOL’s extensive research department. - Assessment skills development
Sharing our expertise, academic knowledge and professional experience in order to help schools raise standards and develop skills in language assessment. - Auditing of assessment and administration systems
Providing an independent, confidential audit of any language testing system, covering factors such as the validity, reliability and accuracy of tests, examiner training and supervision, marking and grading, as well as test security. - Impact studies
Cambridge ESOL has long recognised that our exams have impacted on a range of stakeholders and can provide a detailed impact study service to explore this.
