Despite an ever-increasing amount of work, the Head Office of the Cambridge English Examinations Centre in Bern and the team of examiners and staff for both speaking and written examinations in the Luzern team have never lost sight of the importance of being team players and being 100% there for our candidates.
This team spirit is thanks to excellent leadership, cooperation and loyalty of all team members and has meant that many of the staff have worked for Cambridge for a large number of years. We don’t just preach team work, we practise it.
From a Cambridge English Language Assessment Speaking Examiner, working with the Cambridge English Exams Centre Bern since 1982
English is becoming ever more important. The difference between being able to order something in a restaurant and really mastering the language may well be a diploma from Cambridge Language Assessment. I got to know the Cambridge English Exams Centre in Bern as a highly motivated team, eager to make sure exams match real needs. Cambridge English exams are highly recognized in the business world, which enables students to get additional value from their certificates.
