Your Pathway to Global English Proficiency

At Chartered ACE, we believe English proficiency should open doors, not create barriers. That’s why we have developed the Chartered ACE English Test (CAET), a modern assessment designed to measure language ability through the internationally recognized CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

Unlike traditional exams that focus only on memorization, CAET evaluates (listening, reading, writing, and speaking), ensuring that learners can confidently apply English in academic, professional, and social settings.

Whether you are a student preparing for higher education, a professional seeking career advancement, or an institution looking for a reliable benchmark of English readiness, CAET provides a flexible, fair, and academically rigorous testing solution.

Why CAET?

📊 CEFR-Aligned: Transparent scoring mapped from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficient).

🎯 Practical & Relevant: Focuses on authentic communication, not just grammar drills.

🌐 Global Recognition: Designed to meet academic and workplace standards worldwide.

💻 Accessible Anywhere: Secure digital testing and flexible scheduling for international candidates.

With CAET, your English certification is more than just a score, it is proof of your ability to thrive in a global environment.

Components of the CAET Assessment

The Chartered ACE English Test comprehensively evaluates four core language competencies, ensuring a balanced and holistic measurement of English proficiency:

🎧 Listening – Assesses comprehension of spoken English across academic, professional, and everyday contexts.

📖 Reading – Evaluates the ability to understand and analyze texts ranging from factual information to complex arguments.

✍️ Writing – Measures clarity, accuracy, and organization in producing written English for different purposes.

🗣️ Speaking – Examines fluency, pronunciation, and coherence in interactive communication.
