PET reflects the use of language in real life, such as understanding signs and announcements, and is accepted by many employers as proof of ability to use English in clerical, secretarial or managerial jobs. It is also widely accepted for use in jobs where spoken English is necessary such as tourism, retail, construction, manufacturing and engineering. PET is a truly international certificate, recognized by administrative, industrial, and service-based employers as a qualification in intermediate English. It is also accepted by a large number of educational institutions for study purposes.
