Cambridge Main Suite of Examinations Cambridge produce a large range of examinations including IELTs and exams for a number of varieties of English learners. Including general English exams, business English exams, Young Learners, IELTs, English for teachers and legal English. The best known of these exams are the Cambridge Main Suite, which consist of:
The big advantage of these exams is that nearly everybody on the planet has heard of Cambridge University and a certificate from the university is bound to impress. They also have no expiry date, which is great for younger learners who may not be going to University immediately. These exams are well recognised in Europe by both universities and employers.

You can expect material to be taken from a wide range of sources, although there is a tendancy for the material to be quite academic in nature and the text books also require a lot of work by teachers to make them interesting to students. Reading Material for exam practice At this level students need to be able to read real journals and magazines and given Cambridge's fondness for geography, I always encourage my students to read National Geographic and the simpler science journals are also useful. Broadsheet newspapers are also a good source of material. Set Texts (December 2008 - 2009)The FCE Set texts are: Charles Dickens, Great Expectations The CAE set texts are: Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim
