This <strong>may have repercussions in some jobs or job interviews<\/strong>, where ad<\/span>n addition to asking for your title, they will want it to be as recent as possible. You should know that, in order to apply for many jobs, you will only need to prove your language skills by speaking the language.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another of the reasons why it is common to accredit the language officially, apart from for personal satisfaction and to build a resume, is to<strong> be able to graduate in some careers or to go to live in a foreign country<\/strong>. This is very common in ERASMUS students, as it guarantees that the student will have a sufficient level to understand and follow the classes. Although in most countries your Cambridge certificate will be valid, regardless of its date of issue, there are others where the regulations are somewhat more rigid, so it is essential that you inform yourself and contact us if you have any doubts.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Exceptions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As is common, there is always the exception (or exceptions in this case) that proves the rule.<strong> Cambridge IELTS and BULATS qualifications are valid for two years<\/strong>. In other words, they expire every two years.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>IELTS<\/strong>: known as International English Language Testic System, it is one of the most important English certifications in the world and is very useful for studies, job opportunities, migration and even tourism.<\/li>\n<li><strong>BULATS<\/strong>: is the acronym for Business Language Testing Service and is an exam that tests your knowledge through real-life situations.
