About the Exams
Setting up an exam preparation project
Cambridge English Qualifications for Schools have been designed specifically for children and teenagers, with themes and exercises to suit their interests and abilities. With Cambridge English, students aged 7 and over can improve their English step by step with confidence and reassurance, and stay motivated thanks to diplomas that prove their progress throughout the course. Preparation for the Cambridge English for Schools exams complements the introduction to English provided by the French Ministry of Education.
By offering Cambridge English exam preparation courses, schools have access to a complete range of resources and preparation materials. We also support teachers in their professional development, with our teaching qualifications.

IN ADDITION, CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH DIPLOMAS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEW “EXPECTATIONS” FOR BACHELOR’S DEGREES
Following the reform of access to higher education, universities will be able to select students’ applications according toa list of expectations set by the Ministry.
A level B in a foreign language and/or a good level of English are expected in most bachelor’s degrees.
We therefore encourage you to encourage your students to add their Cambridge English diploma to their Parcoursup file for admissions to higher education (including the CEC diploma, taken in seconde européenne anglais class). You can redirect students to our dedicated Parcoursup page.
BECOME AN OFFICIAL TRAINING CENTER
If you prepare your students for the Cambridge English exams, you can become an official preparation center.
A preparation center is not an examination center. This is a school where students are prepared for exams. The organization of the sessions remains the responsibility of our local examination center, which can come to your premises on the day of the tests.
The advantages of becoming an official preparation center
By becoming an official preparation center, you benefit from :
– a special logo to highlight the partnership with Cambridge Assessment English on your website. At the start of the school year, you will receive an e-mail from Cambridge Assessment English giving you access to the logo.
– a certificate for as few as 30 candidates per year
– a kit for presentations to parents
– a kit for graduation ceremonies
– a dedicated Cambridge Assessment English consultant, in addition to the usual contact with your examination center
– the possibility of organizing exam sessions on your premises (subject to a minimum number of candidates)
