Tag: CEFR levels

The Cambridge English exams are some of the most trusted language assessments in the world, with a history dating back to 1913. Unlike IELTS or TOEFL, Cambridge exams are level-specific and closely aligned with the CEFR scale (A1–C2), making them a clear benchmark of proficiency. Covering young learners, general English, business, and professional contexts, these exams test all four core skills and are accepted by thousands of universities, employers, and governments worldwide. Their lifelong validity, real-life speaking component, and global recognition have made them a cornerstone of English language testing in 2025.
