CAE in Bournemouth - Certificate of Advanced English

CAE is the second highest level Cambridge ESOL exam, at level C1 of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Choose CAE if you are reaching a standard of English that is adequate for most purposes, including social and professional situations or higher education.

Why take CAE?

CAE is ideal if you want to work or study abroad or to develop a career that requires English language skills (e.g. business, medicine, engineering). It is also useful preparation if you are working towards CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English).

On passing the exam, you'll receive a certificate awarded by the University of Cambridge.

Studying for CAE helps you improve your language skills and use them in a wide range of contexts and practical situations. If you are successful in the exam, you'll be able to participate confidently in meetings and discussions, expressing your opinions clearly. You'll also be able to understand and produce texts of various types, including business letters and reports. And if you pass CAE, you'll also be more than capable of following university courses taught in English.

What does the exam involve?

The exam will change slightly in December 2008...but at the moment, the CAE has five papers:

  • Reading
  • Writing
  • English in Use
  • Listening
  • Speaking

The written papers are returned to Cambridge for marking and assessment. The Speaking Test is conducted by two examiners who examine candidates face to face. All examiners are accredited by Cambridge.

Reading (Paper 1), 1 hour 15 minutes

This paper assesses your ability to read and understand a number of texts taken from books, newspapers and magazines. You are expected to be able to show understanding of meaning, main points, detail, text structure or specific information, deduce meaning or recognise opinion and attitude.

Writing (Paper 2), 2 hours

This paper assesses your ability to write non-specialised text types such as letters, articles, reports and reviews for a given purpose and target reader, covering a range of topics. Responses are of about 250 words in length.

English in Use (Paper 3), 1 hour 30 minutes

In this paper, you are expected to demonstrate knowledge and control of the language system by completing various tasks at text and sentence level, based on authentic texts. This will include gap-filling, error correction, word formation, register transfer and text completion exercises.

Listening (Paper 4), 45 minutes (approx.)

This paper assesses your ability to understand the meaning of spoken English and to extract detailed and specific information from the spoken text and to understand speakers' attitudes and opinions. The texts are taken from a variety of text types including interviews, discussions, lectures and conversations.

Speaking (Paper 5), 15 minutes

The Speaking Test assesses your ability to interact in conversational English in a range of contexts. It contains four parts, including an interview section, individual long turns, a collaborative task and a discussion. You are provided with stimulus materials such as photographs and drawings You will normally take the Speaking Test in pairs.
