Course description:
This fixed-length course is intensive and focused on Cambridge CPE examination preparation work and practice. You must complete a written entry test which may be combined with an interview to assess the level of spoken English before we can guarantee a place. Due to the focused and intensive nature of the course, you should be serious and committed to maximise your chances of good results. You will take a full mock exam with added opportunities to practise with past papers to give you an idea of what to expect. This way you will get used to different exam tasks, timings and exam conditions and you will develop good exam techniques. Homework is an integral part of the course and will allow you to identify, practise and improve in the areas you need to focus on at home based on your teacher's individualised feedback.
