Exam Preparation Courses (Cambridge Certificate, IELTS, TOEFL)
Our exam preparation courses are semi-intensive courses which focus on preparing you for specific exams. The structure is similar to that of semi-intensive courses but with more of a long-term goal. This structure is ideal for students who prefer a more thorough, in-depth language course.
Completing an exam preparation course can help students attain important qualifications and are well suited to those hoping to gain a place at university or to advance career prospects. Our exam preparation courses help students prepare for internationally recognised exams, including the official Cambridge examinations, IELTS and TOEFL exams. We are certified as a Cambridge preparation center.
