New courses
University of Cambridge ESOL examination course


We will be starting two new courses in October leading to the Cambridge First Certificate in English (level B2 of the European Framework) and the Cambridge Advanced English (level C1) examinations.

These courses will consist of two semesters of 15 weeks with two two-hourly classes per week. There will be an average of eight students per class. Normally the examination will be taken in June 2011 but strong participants could take it earlier.

People wishing to take these courses should enrol:

Please note that we need a minimum of seven students enrolled to open a session.
