KET

Key Test in English

KET is Cambridge ESOL's exam which recognises the ability to deal with everyday written and spoken English at a basic level.

Is KET for you?

• Do you have basic English skills?
• Can you understand simple written English?
• Can you communicate in familiar situations?
• Can you understand short notices and simple spoken directions?

If this describes your skills now, or describes the level of skills you are working towards, then KET is the right exam for you.
What will KET do for you?

There are many benefits to taking KET:

• a KET certificate is valid for life. You will not need to take the exam again
• KET is a truly international certificate for business and study purposes
• thousands of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise KET as a basic qualification in English
• although KET is a basic exam, it offers a chance to find out your strengths and weaknesses in using English, and gives you a pathway to higher qualifications such as the Preliminary English Test (PET) and First Certificate in English (FCE)
