C2 Proficiency, previously known as Cambridge English: Proficiency and the Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), is an English language examination provided by Cambridge Assessment English (previously known as Cambridge English Language Assessment and University of Cambridge ESOL examination).

C2 Proficiency is the highest level qualification provided by Cambridge Assessment English and shows that learners have mastered English to an exceptional level. It is focused on Level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

C2 Proficiency is one of the examinations in Cambridge English Qualifications – a path for improving language skills. Each Cambridge English Qualification targets a particular level of the CEFR and they work together to create an effective learning journey.

People who were awarded the C2 Proficiency certificate were legally allowed to teach in exchange for money. Namely, this certificate gave people the option to become instructors in Private Course Institutions. It was even possible to acquire a teaching job at a middle school or an elementary school.

In recent years, since the University of Cambridge collaborated with the University of Michigan and re-established the former English Language Institute Testing and Certification Division at the University of Michigan (now called CaMLA), the C2 Proficiency examination (ECPE) can be provided by the University of Michigan as well. Furthermore, the certificate earned from this exam is equivalent to its Cambridge counterpart.^[1]
