The Cambridge FCE Certificate is a lifelong General English qualification that corresponds to Level 3 of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) and Level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).
The test consists in five papers: Reading; Writing; Use of English; Listening; Speaking.
The certificate is recognised worldwide as evidence of ability to use the language in a managerial or professional role, or follow an undergraduate or postgraduate course at some universities that teach in English.
These courses provide a learning experience similar to studying at the University of Oxford. They strengthen reading, writing, use of language, listening, speaking, and feature authentic mock FCE examinations to measure learning progress.
There are five courses and, apart from the Script Correction course, each delivers exclusive live personal distance teaching.
Standard Course
The Standard Course is divided into four monthly modules of weekly written homework assignments. In each four week module there is an essay, a summary task, a mock FCE exam, and an open assignment that you may use for any legitimate learning purpose, such as an additional essay.
Each of the sixteen written homework scripts forms the basis of an exclusive live interactive teaching session called a tutorial. Tutorials last for an hour, as they do at Oxford, and deliver personal teaching based on your current work assignment. This intellectual experience will encourage you to enquire further into the current topic and extend your use of English.
Professional Course
The Professional Course includes the features of the Standard Course together with comprehensive colour coded script analyses. These provide detailed corrections, explications, written comments, and teaching notes on each of your assignment scripts.
Script Correction Course
Apart from the audio teaching sessions and the Paper 5 Speaking tests, the Script Correction Course includes the features of the Professional Course and is ideal if you cannot access a reliable Internet connection.
Conversational Course
The four Conversational Course modules provide weekly homework assignments based on BBC Radio 4 discussions between experts in particular fields of enquiry. Each of the sixteen weekly assignment scripts forms the basis of a live one hour personal tutorial via Skype. This exclusive personal tuition provides an intellectual experience that will inspire you to enquire further into the current topic and extend your use of English.
The Conversational Course may be combined with the FCE Exam Course.
Exam Course
The Exam Course is made up of four mock FCE exams based on sets of authentic past papers. The live Speaking tests feature one tutor acting as your examiner and another as your examination partner.
Assessment and grading of each paper provide an effective measure of your progress during the course.
We believe that studying English is one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to acquire knowledge and we will strive to ensure that your learning experience will be similar to attending the University of Oxford.
We provide exclusive live personal distance teaching to Cambridge examination candidates, private students of English, and those in business, government, or the professions. Our courses combine individual tuition, customised methodology, and action packed lessons to strengthen your reading, writing, listening, speaking, and reasoning skills in English.
Under the guidance of your tutors, you will deepen your understanding of English grammar, broaden your vocabulary, construct reasoned arguments, use effective styles of communication, and sit authentic mock Cambridge examinations that provide a reliable measure of your progress.
Each homework project will conclude with a live one hour personal tutorial to address your learning needs, exchange ideas, and inspire you to enquire further into the issues raised.
