Welcome to our Cambridge English exam centre! Here you will find information on the different courses we offer, and how we can help you achieve your Cambridge qualification.
CBE Languages is a registered examination and preparation centre for Cambridge English exams. Cambridge Assessment English (part of the University of Cambridge, UK) develop and produce a wide range of qualifications for English Language learners. These qualifications are recognised globally by universities, employers and governments - and here at CBE, we offer courses specifically tailored to help you prepare for and sit your Cambridge exam, as well as providing the exams themselves.
*UPDATE 2020: BELGIAN EXAM CENTRE:
CBE Languages has recently become certified to also run Cambridge English exams in Belgium. However, we will only be running exams, in Belgium, for schools groups of 40 or more. We cannot take on any private candidates at this stage. If you are an individual wishing to sit an exam in Belgium, please contact Ronald Zwiers at Zwiers Exam Centre (BE220) at belgium@zwierslanguagetraining.nl
