The Young Learners English Tests are designed to assess the English of learners between the ages of 7 and 12. Children usually take the tests in their own school or institution but we also organise an open session during the month of June for those candidates who don't have access to the test in their own centre.

As the highest level test, Flyers is roughly equivalent in language level to the KET and it can serve as an appropriate bridge to the KET or a step leading to PET, as learners move into adolescence.

The YLE exams are available at three levels: Starters, Movers and Flyers. The tests aim to test language in situations and activities that are familiar to children throughout the world and to encourage future learning. There is no pass or fail and each child receives an award for his/her effort. Each level of the test has three components:

Reading & Writing - Listening - Speaking

When can I organise a YLE session in my school?

Most children take the Young Learners English Tests in their own school or language academy. Schools can choose to organise a session at any time of year including months that are not traditionally exam months (May and June). Once you have chosen a date for the session, you must register your candidates seven weeks in advance of this date. If you are holding a session for the first time, we will arrange to visit your school to organise the exam schedule and to clear up any doubts or questions that you may have.

Please note that there must be a minimum of ten candidates.

Important We organise an open session each year in Barcelona for those students who don't have access to an exam session in their own school/language academy. YLE Open Session exam date This session is on Saturday 31 May 2008 and the registration period is from 3 March to 18 April 2008.

IMPORTANT In order to avoid spelling mistakes on exam certificates, please make sure that candidates' names and surnames are spelt correctly and that you have included their date of birth. The centre cannot accept responsibility for spelling mistakes or missing accents on final certificates. Schools registering groups of students should provide us with their name, address, email and telephone number so that we can issue results directly to the school.
