The exams are designed and developed to motivate children from a young age right through their teenage years and beyond. They cover all four language skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking. They bring learning to life, covering topics that your child is familiar with and developing the skills needed to:

• improve in English
• understand books, television, films, songs, the internet and other media in English
• make friends around the world
• travel the world
• study at university or college, either at home or in another country
• get a job and use English at work, either in your country or abroad.

Taking and passing exams at the right level – from beginner to advanced – helps build your child’s confidence. Your child will become more proficient and more fluent with each step.
