剑桥CAE是中高级考试，旨在评估学生在大学水平上学习学术课程，在管理和专业水平上进行有效沟通，充满信心地参加工作场所会议或学术教程和研讨会，进行复杂而富挑战性的研究的能力，表达自己的流利程度，在不同的文化和社会环境中做出适当反应。剑桥CAE拥有同类最大的研究计划的支持，因此，考试被认为是对您语言技能的最可靠反映。最近在澳大利亚已经体现了这一点，移民部接受CAE成绩用于移民目的。
Cambridge Preparation programs are something of our speciality here at Lexis English. Over the years we have earned a reputation for the quality of our Cambridge Preparation programs, our teachers and our teaching methods and materials. The popularity of our Cambridge Preparation programs means that we can always offer our students the full range of options, whether you are starting your Cambridge journey at a PET level, moving through FCE and CAE, or challenging yourself to the most advanced level, Cambridge CPE. Cambridge CAE is an Upper Intermediate level exam designed to assess a student's ability to follow an academic course at university level, communicate effectively at managerial and professional level, participate with confidence in workplace meetings or academic tutorials and seminars, carry out complex and challenging research, express yourself with a high level of fluency, react appropriately in different cultural and social situations. Cambridge CAE is backed by the largest research programme of its kind, and as such the exams are regarded as providing the most reliable reflection of your language skills. This has been reflected in Australia recently, with the Department of Immigration accepting CAE results for immigration purposes.
