Saint Mary School of English Language
Cambridge certifications

The official certificate, two ways to get there.

Saint Mary works with two paths to Cambridge certification. One with an official examiner inside our staff (Emmanuel Martínez) and another with the official Cambridge Buenos Aires location. The final certificate is the same in both cases.

Important

Both paths end in the same official Cambridge English certificate, valid for life (Cambridge does not expire). The difference is the exam location, the schedule, and the rate. Saint Mary can administer the exam because it has an examiner authorized by Cambridge within its staff (Emmanuel Martínez, certified for KET, PET, FCE, and CAE). The CPE level is only available via Cambridge BA.
