About Us

The Cambridge Assessment Group is a department of the University of Cambridge. We have three exam boards – University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), and OCR.  We are a not-for-profit organisation.

Assessment is the key to identifying and measuring achievement – it shows us when education works.  As assessment experts, we aim to influence education policy and strategy around the world to enhance learning and ensure that individuals are able to access the benefits of their education.
