Show the world how good you are with a University of Cambridge ESOL certificate.
Our English for exam courses are specially designed to develop the skills relevant to each exam. However, the main aim of these courses is to build up your confidence and accuracy in all forms of the language by presenting and practising language appropriate to both group and individual needs. All our English for Exams programmes will provide you with extensive training in examination techniques and strategies. Regular practice tests will show you exactly where you are in the learning curve and provide you with an idea of what it is like to work under pressure during a Cambridge examination.
