We offer the First Certificate in English (FCE), Cambridge Advanced English (CAE) and Cambridge Proficiency in English (CPE) examination courses.

 

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.

The teacher was brilliant in our Cambridge Advanced exam class and she finally unlocked the mystery of the tenses to me. Staff in general were friendly and helpful and I absolutely adored the chocolate croissants in the cafeteria.
