Many Swiss companies and educational institutions have high expectations of the English language skills of their employees and students. In May 2018 Cambridge Assessment English launched a quick and a reliable English test called Linguaskill.

The business English Online Test BULATS will be retired by the end of 2019. In order to replace the business English version a new test format of Linguaskill, called Linguaskill Business, will be launched in November 2018. The update simplifies the administration of the English Online Tests as both Linguaskill General and Linguaskill Business can be administered on the same platform in the future.

When candidates choose the “Swiss Exams - Exam Retake Option”, they can retake their exam for free within 12 months in case of illness, unintended absence, or fail of 3 points or less.   Every year many candidates miss their exam for reasons which are not their fault. This could be an unexpected illness, car or train failure or personal/family circumstances (e.g. death in the family, etc.). A fail result within 3 points of the passing grade also often happens to candidates.  

In an effort to provide French-speaking regions of Switzerland with local access to computer-based (CB) Cambridge English Exams, Swiss Exams is inviting you to register now for the workshop and opening event on 7 September 2018. In the last 10 years, computer-based (CB) Cambridge Exams have significantly increased in Switzerland. Swiss Exams offers CB testing in most major cities in Switzerland. Lausanne is in one of the remaining regions that does not yet offer Cambridge CB exams.
