One of Pombalingua’s many objectives is to prepare students for the internationally recognised Cambridge ESOL Examinations and our programmes are designed for this. The Cambridge ESOL exams are the world’s leading range of certificates for learners of English. Each year they are taken by over two million people, in 130 countries. They can help candidates gain entry to a university or college, improve their job prospects and measure their progress in English. Not only the exams but also Pombalingua’s courses are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language published by the Council of Europe.
