A2 Flyers is the highest of the three Cambridge Assessment English: Young Learners tests. As your child improves and works their way up to the A2 Flyers certificate, they reach a level which will enable them to aim for Cambridge English: B1 Preliminary. This B1 test is the gateway to exams that lead to internationally accepted certificates which can be used for work and study purposes.

Practical and useful language skills

Learning English which is practical and useful is essential for children. It is important that the English they learn meets internationally accepted standards which will help prepare them for studying abroad or working at an international level.

Flyers is set at the A2 Level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). A2 is the level of English needed to:

understand simple written English
communicate in familiar situations
understand short notices and simple spoken directions.

For example, at A2 level, you can expect them to:

understand and use basic phrases and expressions
introduce themselves and answer basic questions about their personal details
interact with English speakers who talk slowly and clearly
write short, simple notes.

The Young Learners tests are specifically designed with the interests of schoolchildren in mind, so stimulating their motivation to learn English. Based on familiar topics, the tests give your child the confidence they need, and inspire them to do well.

Your child is further motivated and encouraged when they receive their A2 Flyers results

There is no pass or fail. All children receive an award which shows how many shields they have received. The maximum score is five shields for each part of the test.

An A2 Flyers award is a great way to:

celebrate children’s achievement
build their confidence
reward their own individual ability.

A result of one shield means a child can improve a lot in that skill. Five shields mean that a child did very well in that skill and answered most questions correctly.

Children should be ready to start preparing for the next Cambridge English exam – A2 Key for Schools and B1 Preliminary for Schools – if they achieve a total of 10 or 11 shields, or above.

Advantages for schools, teachers and parents:

preparation for the Young Learners tests can be connected to the existent school curriculum,
learners receive certificates showing their knowledge on an internationally accepted scale and are motivated to learn further,
individual schools create added value as they offer the learners in their environment an opportunity to gain language education similar to that which schools from larger towns can offer,
by providing additional language education, a school influences the future development of its region beneficially and achieves greater interconnection on state and international levels,
teachers who take part in preparing their learners for the tests have an opportunity to improve their professional knowledge both at their own school and in a wider context,
parents acquire external feedback about the progress of their child and value the effort their school puts into motivating the children to continue learning a foreign language and into offering additional activities to its learners.
