English boot camp – get the certificate that governments, universities and corporate employers want to see
Cambridge English C1 Advanced (CAE) is the next step after B2 First FCE. It is internationally recognised by both educational institutions and employers as well as the Australian government for some immigration categories. CAE is a valuable asset to the student when applying for a position in an institute or in business. Students who successfully complete this course will demonstrate full competency in all macro skills.
They will have a sound knowledge of grammar and extended vocabulary and will be confident speakers in a variety of situations. The course covers writing, reading, listening, grammar and speaking skills in preparation for the exam. Students have access to a range of practice tests and will complete full mock examinations under exam conditions as part of their course.
Cambridge Options
Our Cambridge Options option allows students to enter FCE preparation classes four times a year within the 10 to 12 weeks intake. This is also a good option for students who have not achieved their required test result in the past, and need a brief refresher course prior to re-sitting the examination.
