Students can study any of the main English language exams e.g. IELTS and The Cambridge suite (FCE, CAE, CPE). Practice exams are carried out and exam techniques explored with the full support of their teacher.
On the Exam Preparation course students will study and practise the elements required in the exam syllabus, discuss (on a 1-1 basis) student’s performance in the test, and chances in the real exam, get lots of practice with authentic exam materials and increase overall understanding of English as well as understand the exam syllabus for the Cambridge exams: First Certificate (FCE), Advanced Certificate (CAE), Certificate of Proficiency (CPE) and the IELTS general and academic certificates.
