How does the ECCE compare to other exams   

How does the ECCE compare to Cambridge Exams, TOEFL, ECPE, and MELAB examinations?

Those receiving an ECCE Certificate would be expected to have language skills comparable to those receiving a Cambridge First Certificate (FCE). ECCE certificate holders are at the B2 level, according to the CEFR scale.

The ECCE is a less advanced exam than the certificates of proficiency in English developed by the University of Michigan (ECPE) and the University of Cambridge (CPE).

The skill level needed to achieve an ECCE Certificate would be expected to result in a TOEFL score ranging from 450 to 525, a TOEFL CBT score between 133 and 195, or a MELAB score ranging from 60 to 73.
