The Cambridge C2 Proficency (CPE) Examination preparation course at ELC Brighton is designed to improve your overall language ability in addition to developing the language skills necessary to pass the CPE exam. It is for students with an advanced (C1) or proficient (C2) level of English. The course provides complete and careful preparation for all aspects of the C2 Proficiency examination.
The Cambridge C2 Prociciency preparation course includes:
- dedicated full-day classes preparing for Cambridge CPE exam
- practice interviews with experienced Cambridge examiners
- mock examinations under authentic exam conditions
- regular tutorials with your teacher to give individual help and study advice
We offer:
- long 9 - 12 week intensive courses leading to the CPE exam in March, June and December
- 25 or 30 lessons (18.75 or 22.5 hours) per week
There is a core of 25 lessons/week in a dedicated class focussing on preparing for the Cambridge CPE exam. If you choose the 30 lessons/week course, for the extra 5 lessons per week you can choose a General English elective. This may be to focus on a particular area that you need extra help with for the CPE exam such as 'speaking, pronunciation, listening' or 'reading, writing and vocabulary'. Alternatively, you may wish to focus on a new skill like 'English for Work'.
Our minimum age for individuals is 16, but we occasionally accept 15 year olds on the General English course in international classes provided they are part of a group with a group leader.
