CPE Exam Preparation Course
Afternoon classes only take place 2 times a week.
The school offers courses leading to the most important University of Cambridge ESOL examinations. These exams are externally moderated and can be taken approximately every month.
These exams comprise different papers testing students’ English language and skills knowledge; namely pronunciation / speaking, listening, reading, writing, and vocabulary / grammar.
For General English, the most important exams are: F.C.E (First Certificate in English), C.A.E (Certificate in Advanced English), and C.P.E (Certificate of Proficiency in English).
First is the gold standard of English language learning, the level to which the majority of students aspire. It is especially recognised by employers as proof of a candidate’s high-level competence in the language.
Advanced is an advanced qualification in English for those who wish to use English for professional or study purposes. It is recognised by most British universities, and in other countries, as proof that the holder has the language ability to follow a course of study in the medium of English.
Proficiency is the highest level exam for English language learning, so holders of this certificate are internationally recognised as learners who have achieved an extremely high level of skill in the English language.
