Cambridge Assessment English or Cambridge English develops and produces Cambridge English Qualifications and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The organisation contributed to the development of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the standard used around the world to benchmark language skills,[2] and its qualifications and tests are aligned with CEFR levels.[3]
Cambridge Assessment English is part of Cambridge Assessment, a non-teaching department of the University of Cambridge[4] which merged with Cambridge University Press to form Cambridge University Press & Assessment in August 2021.[5]
