What an English exam is for

An English exam proves your level to a university, an employer or a public authority. Each exam has its own use: some validate a level once and for all, others measure your level at a given moment. The institution you are applying to states which one it accepts.

The Cambridge exams

Cambridge English Qualifications are awarded by the University of Cambridge. Each exam matches a level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): B1 Preliminary, B2 First — formerly the First Certificate —, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency.

You enter the exam for the level you are aiming at. The certificate has no expiry date.

TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC

TOEFL iBT, designed by the American organisation ETS, assesses academic English: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Many universities ask for it at admission, and scores are valid for two years.

IELTS is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP and Cambridge. It comes in two versions: Academic for higher education, General Training for work or moving abroad.

TOEIC, also designed by ETS, measures the English used in the workplace.

Preparing for the exam on a language stay

An immersion stay lets you work on the language every day, in class and outside it. Many English schools offer preparation courses for the Cambridge exams, TOEFL or IELTS that train you in the format of the papers.
