ECPE

 

The Examination for the Certificate of  Proficiency in English (ECPE) is a standardized, advanced-level English as a foreign language (EFL) examination developed and scored by the University of  Michigan (U-M). It is administered by test centers around the world. Test center in Amman, Jordan is MLC (615).


The ECPE is a test of general language proficiency in a variety of contexts; it assesses linguistic, discoursal, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic elements of the English language. The four component skills of  listening, reading, writing, and speaking are evaluated through a combination of tasks.


The ECPE is aimed at the C2 level of  the common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and is valid for the lifetime of the recipient. It is recognized in several countries as official documentary evidence of advanced proficiency in the English language and can be used fro academic and professional purposes. It is accepted by some universities as evidence of proficiency in English if the certificate has been received within the past two year.


The University of Michigan is committed to excellence in its test, which are developed in accordance with the highest standards in educational measurement. All parts of the examination are written following specified guidelines, and items are pretested to ensure that they function properly. The ECPE Testing Program works closely with test centers to ensure that its tests are administered in a way that is fair and accessible to examinees and that the ECPE is open to all people  who wish to take the exam, regardless of the school  they attend or their participation in formal language study.
