What is Anglia Examination Syndicate?
English is the most widely used and recognised language in the world. The ability to communicate in this language is therefore essential as it can provide the gateway to many careers and opportunities. Anglia Examination Syndicate (AES) offers a comprehensive and structured programme of assessing English language competence, which students undertake at their own pace, guided by their teachers.
The Anglia Certificate of English as a Foreign Language is designed to take the student through all the stages necessary to achieve a level of proficiency and can be used to gain access to Universities and Colleges in different countries.
Anglia Examination Syndicate is a member of EALTA (European Association for Language Testing and Assessment). The purpose of EALTA is to promote the understanding of theoretical principles of language testing and assessment, and the improvement and sharing of testing and assessment practices throughout Europe.
Anglia Examination Syndicate is owned by Chichester College. The college opened in 1964 and is the major centre for a wide range of academic, commercial, scientific, technical, recreational and adult education courses in West Sussex, England.
Chichester College is a member of ENGLISH UK , and an accredited BRITISH COUNCIL Centre.
Implementing our exams is easy.
One of the advantages of using Anglia Examination Syndicate is that students need not follow a particular course to take an Anglia Exam.
The programme can be run in addition to other courses of study, as it gives students the opportunity to use the English skills they already have.
The exam format is kept recognisably similar throughout the levels. The tasks candidates are asked to perform are usually found in most ELT textbooks.
