Exams

At the English Institute, we follow the internationally recognized Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) examination system. These exams are designed to assess learners’ English language proficiency at different stages of their development, following the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

We prepare students for a structured progression of exams:

• YLE (Young Learners English – Movers, Flyers) – Syllabus covered in Step 4 and 5:
  These exams are designed for primary school learners and focus on building basic communication skills in a fun and motivating way.
• KET for Schools (A2 Key) – Syllabus covered in Step 6:
  This exam assesses elementary-level English. Students demonstrate their ability to understand and use simple everyday expressions and communicate in familiar situations.
• PET for Schools (B1 Preliminary) – Syllabus covered in Step 7:
  At this intermediate level, students show they can handle everyday written and spoken communication, express opinions, and understand straightforward texts.
• FCE for Schools (B2 First) – Syllabus covered in Step 9:
  This upper-intermediate qualification proves that students can use English effectively in academic and professional contexts, including expressing ideas clearly and interacting fluently.

Students are also prepared for the Cambridge International IGCSE English as a Second Language examination (syllabus covered in Step 10). This qualification develops practical communication skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and is widely recognized by schools and universities around the world.
