Level
From your first words to specialist literature.
Six levels of the Common European Framework, each with its own Cambridge exam. B2 First is the certificate Swiss employers and universities ask for most often.
Not sure which level?
Three questions, two minutes, no email address needed.
The level check suggests an exam and immediately shows the next date, the venue and the fee. The result appears on screen — we only need your address if you would like the preparation plan.
