What are the main reasons that candidates take PET?
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 PET: • A PET certificate is valid for life. Candidates will not need to take the exam again. • PET is a truly international certificate, recognised around the world for business and study purposes. • Thousands of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise PET as an intermediate qualification in English. • Although PET is a basic exam, it offers a chance to find out your strengths and weaknesses in using English, and gives candidates a pathway to higher qualifications such as the First Certificate in English (FCE). • ‘Can Do’ skills at PET level give candidates the confidence to use English in real situations.
