How does Advantage membership work?

Your membership level will depend on the total number of registrations made with us in the previous academic year from September to August. We will evaluate and renew your membership level each year.
New schools and institutions that apply to join Advantage will be offered a membership level according to the number of registrations they first make. We also invite those who are starting to offer Cambridge English exams to join with Advantage Starter membership. Advantage Starter aims to give you the framework and the marketing tools to launch our cooperation.
