  English Preliminary (PET) is one of our

  mastered the basics.
• A B1 Preliminary qualification shows that you
  have mastered the basics of English and now have
  practical language skills for everyday use.
• This exam is the logical step in your language
  learning journey between A2 Key and B2 First.
