If you registered through a Language Centre, your certificate will be sent to your school. If you registered as an individual candidate, your certificate will be sent to your postal address via courier.

Young Learners

You will receive an award (certificate) from Cambridge Assessment English, showing your performance in each part of the test – Listening, Reading and Writing and Speaking.

For each part of the test you get one or more Cambridge shields (up to a maximum of five) so you could get a total of 15 shields for the whole test!

Young Learner results are issued approximately six weeks after the date of your examination. Everyone who completes their test receives an award, which focuses on what they could do (not what they couldn’t do). It gives them credit for having taken part in the test.

Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT)

You will receive a certificate for each module taken. There is no pass/fail.

Your results are reported in four bands.The band descriptor will help you understand the bands.

TKT results are issued to centres approximately six weeks after the exam.

Extended certification

From March 2011 Cambridge Assessment English has introduced Extended Certification, which is aimed at giving many candidates additional credit for the language skills they have demonstrated in a Cambridge Assessment English examination. It also aims to help universities, employers and other organisations get a clearer picture of how candidates' results relate to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

Results enquiries

If you feel that your exam was unfairly marked, Cambridge Assessment English has a rigorous and thorough Result Enquiry Procedure to ensure all components are checked and, if requested, re-marked. If you want to query your result, this must be submitted through the British Council on your behalf.

Results Enquiry Procedure has two stages:

Stage	What is the enquiry process?	How long does it take?	What does it cost?
Stage 1	A full clerical re-check	Within five working days of receiving the request	Refer to Results Enquiry Procedure
Stage 2	A re-mark of written papers (including review of the Listening paper where relevant, but does not apply to any Speaking test component)	The outcome of the enquiry will be sent within three weeks (all requests for Stage 2 will be acknowledged by return post)*	Refer to Results Enquiry Procedure

* To request a Stage 2 enquiry, a candidate must have received their results and completed Stage 1 of the Results Enquiry Process.

If a candidate has already received a certificate but wishes to request Stage 2, the certificate must be returned to Cambridge Assessment English. Requests will not be processed until this has been received.
