EXAMINATIONS, CERTIFICATES & DIPLOMAS Guidelines on English as a First Language for Intending or Actual Candidates As stated in the Regulations Part 1 Regulation 1.2, the Cambridge EFL examinations are open only to candidates whose first language is not English.

The intending or actual candidate who completes this form must sign it. Intending or actual candidates may be asked to complete one of these forms at any point during the entry period or during the actual conduct of the examination.
