What are the main reasons that candidates take KET?
A. Cambridge ESOL is a department of the world-famous and historic University of Cambridge. Attaining one of its certificates is an achievement and a reward in itself. However, there are many other benefits to taking KET: • A KET certificate is valid for life. Candidates will not need to take the exam again. • KET is a truly international certificate, recognised around the world for business and study purposes. • Thousands of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise KET as a basic qualification in English. • Although KET is a basic exam, it offers candidates a chance to find out their strengths and weaknesses in using English, and gives them a pathway to higher qualifications such as the Preliminary English Test (PET) and First Certificate in English (FCE). • ‘Can Do’ skills at KET level give candidates the confidence to use English in real situations.
