Overview

As part of the Cambridge University, Cambridge Assessment English are world leaders in qualifications and tests for English learners. Their Cambridge English Qualifications offer an exciting progression from PET at B1 all the way up to Proficiency at C2. Deciding to take the PET exam once you have reached intermediate/B1 gives a new focus to your studies. Students often find that this motivates them to continue learning and achieving - and you'll have a certificate to show for it at the end, too. Taking a B1: Preliminary course with Eurocentres means that you'll have support and guidance every step of the way, as well as benefit from a combination of general language and exam-based skills training. The PET certificate is a good way to officially showcase your mastery of English for practical, everyday situations, proving that you have what it takes to communicate effectively in English-speaking environments.
