Course Objectives

To help you prepare for the FCE examination by:

Training you in FCE skills and techniques
Giving you extensive examination practice
Improving the level of your English through a combination of language input and practice in the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing
Developing the study skills that will enable you to continue to learn English after your course.

Levels and Progress

This course is for students at Upper Intermediate (CEFR B2) level only. Students at this level can communicate effectively in most situations and can usually easily re-phrase in order to be understood.

If you are not sure of your level, contact us and we will send you a test and give advice. If your English is not yet good enough, you can study General English first until you are ready to transfer to Exam Preparation. The fees for General English and Exam Preparation are the same, so there are no extra course fees.

You will have weekly progress tests and monthly tutorials to assess your progress and help you to set learning targets.

Course Structure

Morning Classes

09:15-12:45 Monday to Friday.

These classes prepare you for the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE). The focus is on both raising your level of English and the skills and strategies needed for FCE.

The lessons are based on a modern FCE coursebook, though your teacher will also bring in extra materials to make sure the course meets your specific needs. We lend you the coursebook with no extra fees.

Afternoon Classes

In the afternoons you can choose either Communication Skills, Business English or IELTS Exam Preparation classes.

You will have regular homework and can use our library or study centre for further study in your free time.
