Cambridge Examination Preparation Courses All centres
Cambridge English Language Assessment provides a number of internationally recognised examinations for people who need formal certification of their English language proficiency.
Cambridge Examination Courses at CES are designed to prepare students for one of the following Cambridge Examinations:
- First Certificate in English - FCE (B2 First)
- Certificate in Advanced English - CAE (C1 Advanced)
The Cambridge Examinations usually take place four times per year, mid-March, mid-June, mid-August, and mid-December. Our courses are planned to finish on the week before the exam will take place.
In Canada, this course runs as full-time exam preparation course. In Ireland, morning lessons will help to develop general language skills (20 lessons) while the afternoon lessons focus on exam preparation (6 lessons). Similarly, in the UK, morning lessons will help to build general English knowledge (20 lessons) and the afternoon lessons concentrate on examination skills for your chosen Cambridge exam (10 lessons).

What level do you need to take the course?
Students planning to take the FCE course should be at minimum level B2 (upper-intermediate) and for the CAE at C1 (advanced) level. We cannot accept a student for any examination course until CES has confirmed the student is at the appropriate level for their chosen examination. Contact [email protected] to take a level test onine.
Please note that CES Dublin, CES Leeds and CES Toronto are official Cambridge Test centres, so you can take your exam in the same CES school you studied in. Other CES centres will help you apply for and organise your examination.
