Ministry of Education and Training recognizes a new English standard

The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued a decision to recognize the levels of the Pearson English International Certificate (PEIC) as equivalent to the levels of the 6-level Foreign Language Proficiency Framework for Vietnam.

The Ministry of Education and Training recognizes a new English standard.

Accordingly, the specific equivalence levels are as follows:

Thus, in addition to the familiar English standards in Vietnam such as IELTS and TOEFL, the PEIC international English certificate test scores will be officially used for admission and training purposes at the university level as well as can be applied as English proficiency standards for students at high school and graduate levels, opening up new opportunities and options for English learners in Vietnam.

The PEIC certificate is an international English proficiency standard that includes 4 skills (Listening - Speaking - Reading - Writing) for students and working people. The PEIC test is divided into 6 levels corresponding to the 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), helping to closely assess the ability and progress of learners through each stage of language proficiency improvement.

The PEIC certificate is issued by PearsonEducation Group - the largest examination board in the UK. The PEIC exam has been widely organized in many countries around the world and this certificate is recognized by businesses, universities as well as government agencies in many countries.

EMG Education and Pearson have been approved by the Ministry of Education and Training to jointly organize PEIC certification exams in Vietnam. The PEIC certification exam fee for a test of 4 skills Listening - Speaking - Reading - Writing is about 1.2 million VND/candidate.
