Who Accepts CAEL Tests
CAEL is officially accepted by professional organizations, colleges, universities, and employers as proof of English language proficiency.
Please note that scores for the CAEL taken at a Test Centre or Online are used the same way and that the test format, test content, scoring criteria, and rating scale, are exactly the same. While we will send CAEL scores for either delivery method to the institutions you select, we encourage you to confirm that your institution accepts or will accept CAEL Online scores.
