PTE Academic English certificate is officially recognized by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training

This decision, effective from August 30, 2024, marks an important step forward in expanding English proficiency assessment options for Vietnamese students.

The meaning of recognition

Recognizing PTE Academic not only helps Vietnamese students have another reliable option to prove their English proficiency when applying to domestic and international universities, but also brings many practical benefits to universities. PTE Academic will help schools diversify their admission methods, improve the quality of incoming students and save time in the admission process.

PTE Academic scores will be widely used in university admissions and training processes, and can also be applied as an English proficiency standard for students at secondary and postgraduate levels. This opens up new opportunities for English learners in Vietnam, helping them pursue their dreams of studying abroad and developing international careers.

“The decision by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training to recognise PTE is an important step forward in our drive to develop the economy through quality education and improve workforce skills,” said Gio Giovannelli, President of Pearson English Languages.

"Whether you're in high school, university or just starting your career, taking PTE can open up new opportunities, with the assurance that the test is trusted by organisations and governments .

Currently, PTE is honored to be one of the international English tests recognized as equivalent to the levels of the 6-level Foreign Language Proficiency Framework for Vietnam. This provides further confidence that PTE is consistent with the language proficiency assessment standards in Vietnam, and is a nationally trusted and accepted exam."

PTE Academic - Comprehensive and accurate assessment

PTE Academic comprehensively assesses all four skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing through diverse questions, helping universities have an accurate view of candidates' English proficiency. With the recognition of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, PTE Academic further affirms its position as one of the prestigious and popular English tests in the world.
