How we can help

Cambridge Assessment English can help you evaluate your English language education system by testing the language skills of your learners and teachers, and collecting information on the factors within and outside of school that affect learner and teacher performance. The resulting data can be used to support the development of an evidence-based strategy for improving the current standard of language learning. We can also support businesses understand the language levels of their employees and job candidates.

  • As part of the University of Cambridge we provide the advantage of a reputable, objective evaluation, considering internal and external factors that may affect performance
  • A research-based approach to the alignment of language competence to international standards
  • Established baseline that can be used to measure progress or assess future outcomes
  • Recommendations to support the development of an evidence-based strategy for future interventions to improve English language education
