Why can my Cambridge ESOL qualification not be compared directly with a GCSE or A-Level in English?
Due to the very different content and focus of the GCSE in English, A-Level in English and the Cambridge ESOL qualifications it is not possible to make any direct comparisons between them. However our Certificate in Advanced English (CAE), among other examinations, was mapped at Level 2 of the National Qualifications Framework in the UK and our Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) was mapped at one level above this at NQF Level 3. A GCSE in English and an A-Level in English were mapped at NQF Level 2 and NQF Level 3 respectively.
