English level certification allows us to monitor student progress. It is also a valuable tool for transfers between national and international schools, serving as evidence of the level achieved by students. For us as an institution, international exams are part of the guidelines established within the bilingual program and help set performance bands to analyze the impact of the curriculum. It is also crucial to remember that these certifications are internationally valid, not only for studying in other schools but also as proof of English levels when applying to national or foreign universities, and for accessing better job opportunities in the future.
Our students take two preparatory mock tests to familiarize themselves with the format, timing, and structure of the final exam. The final phase involves assessments in all four skills, conducted individually by Cambridge Assessment certified evaluators.
