Cambridge Certificate - Worldwide Recognition
In Switzerland, the Cambridge exams are regarded as an "unofficial" yet significant benchmark for English language skills and competencies, as well as preparation for the next educational stage.
Why "unofficial"?
Even though participation in Cambridge exams is generally voluntary in most cantons and schools within the Swiss education system, they have practically become an indispensable component of a career in nearly all sectors and most professions. This is due to their widespread acceptance and appreciation across various educational levels and in the workplace.
Impact of Cambridge Certificate on career success
In the Swiss economy, Cambridge exams and certificates enjoy the highest recognition. An estimated 800,000 individuals in Switzerland possess a Cambridge certificate. These certificates are a crucial component of any resume and significantly enhance success rates in job applications. Even in adult education, there are numerous ways to obtain an internationally recognized Cambridge certificate.
In addition to the so-called "Main Suite" exams Cambridge A2 Key, Cambridge B1 Preliminary, Cambridge B2 First, Cambridge C1 Advanced, and Cambridge C2 Proficiency, the new Cambridge Linguaskill Business exam is also available.
What opportunities does a Cambridge certificate offer?
A Cambridge certificate, such as the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), creates diverse career opportunities in the Swiss job market. These internationally recognized certificates not only demonstrate advanced language proficiency but also strong communication and comprehension skills in the English language.
Boosting Career Mobility

Employers in Switzerland value the quality of Cambridge certificates as a reliable indicator of their employees' language competence.
