Cambridge Exam Course (FCE, CAE, CPE)

Our well-established and expert examination team provide the students with a comprehensive preparation for these examinations.

Morning lessons are structured to focus on grammar and vocabulary building, with specific focus on the ‘Use of English’, ‘writing’, and ‘reading’ papers. In the afternoons the lessons focus on the ‘speaking’ and ‘listening’ papers. Students can expect to be given comprehensive practice of past papers and a thorough education in exam techniques.

It should be noted that there is an expectation that the students have a certain degree of homework in order to prepare then fully for the exams.

First Certificate in English (FCE) is an exam for people who can use everyday written and spoken English at an upper-intermediate level. It is an ideal exam for people who want to use English for work or study purposes.

 

Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) is an exam for advanced users of English. This exam is aimed at people who can use written and spoken English for most professional and social purposes. It is widely recognised for work or study purposes. Level needed: Upper-intermediate to advanced.
