CAE is an exam for advanced users of English. This exam is aimed at people who can use written and spoken English for most professional and social purposes. It is widely recognised for work or study purposes.
CPE is Cambridge ESOL's most advanced exam. It is aimed at people who use English for professional or study purposes.
CPE is at Level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) — an internationally recognised benchmark of language ability. The framework uses six levels to describe language ability from A1 to C2. 'Can Do' statements have been used to describe these levels in terms of real skills with language.
CPE is truly international, recognised around the world for business and study purposes. Hundreds of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise CPE as proof of proficiency in English
For example, at C2 level, typical users can be expected to:
