Success in a Cambridge English Qualification can afford you better job opportunities and access to many universities. Each Cambridge English Qualification is based on a level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
The two Cambridge Exam Preparation courses at ELC are aimed at preparing students for the Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) and Cambridge B2 First. The courses will give you a deep insight into each exam’s scoring criteria and structure. You will gain an understanding of the test questions you can expect to encounter, with plenty of practice tests, so you feel confident on exam day. You will also learn crucial time management strategies while honing your skills in the four core skills that will be tested in the exam – speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
Suitable for students at a B2 CEFR level, the B2 First Cambridge English qualification is widely accepted by businesses and educational institutions internationally. Our B2 First Preparation course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to approach the exam with confidence. As the exam tests your ability to give opinions and present arguments in both spoken and written English, you will receive both theoretical and practical training in these areas.
The exam is comprised of four papers, with the speaking component of the B2 First exam is conducted in person with examiners, as well as another candidate in order to mimic a real-life setting. Therefore students will receive intensive practice in communicating with native and non-native speakers. In addition, you will broaden your grammar and lexicon.
