Cambridge English Young Learners

The Academy is an examination preparation center officially recognised by Cambridge English. For this reason, we offer official preparation courses for any Cambridge exam.

In the case of children and young people, we offer preparation courses for the Young Learners, KET, PET, First (FCE) and Advanced (CAE) exams.

Cambridge English Young Learners:

These exams help children to know and learn the English language, and to demonstrate what they know and to obtain official certificates that recognize their level of English from the first moment. We consider them to be the best tool to motivate children to improve themselves every day.

Young Learners is a set of motivational tests made up of activities specially designed for elementary and high school students. Thanks to these exams, each student’s progress in English can be checked according to internationally recognized standards.

The exams cover real-life situations that bring learning closer and allow it to be applied to everyday life. They are composed of close and interesting topics, which are designed to develop the skills that children need to communicate in English.

There are three different level tests – Starters, Movers, Flyers – that will help children follow a clearly defined path to progress in learning English.

The Starters test corresponds to a beginner’s child level.

The Movers test corresponds to level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)

The Flyers exam corresponds to CEFR level A2.

Once students reach a higher level than that assessed in these exams, they can pass to the rest of the Cambridge exams.
