UK NARIC is the designated United Kingdom national agency for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications.
It performs this official function on behalf of the UK Government.
GETS Advanced candidates receive a Test Report Form presenting their scores which are aligned to the CEFR in the GETS Scale of English.
The Executive Summary details the UK NARIC approval, which validates GETS Higher as a secure English language exam mapped to the CEFR.
