Academic English
Educational institutions, employers, professional registration bodies, and government immigration agencies often require proof of English language skills as part of their recruitment or admission procedures.
Worldwide School of English offers exam preparation courses in two of the most recognised international English language exams – Cambridge and IELTS.
Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency
20 hours per week – Morning and Afternoon
Our Cambridge exam preparation courses are specifically for students wishing to obtain any of the following certificates: B2 First, C1 Advanced, or C2 Proficiency (formerly known as FCE, CAE and CPE).
Classes focus on skills practice for reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as topic-based vocabulary and grammar work. Students receive individual feedback on their writing.
The courses are full-time, and there are three intakes per year. The courses are between 10 and 12 weeks, depending on which course you join.
Academic IELTS
20 hours per week – Morning and Afternoon
Our Academic IELTS classes help students develop the skills required to improve their exam scores.
Students learn how to write reports and essays, and develop their vocabulary for a variety of academic topics. They are taught techniques for reading and listening more effectively, and how to better express themselves while speaking.
The course is divided into 6-week blocks. There are three levels, with each level taking 12 weeks to complete. Students who are accepted into the course can start at the beginning of any 6-week block.
Students are required to sit a pre-test before taking the course to determine their correct class. This pre-test is normally taken at school, but is also available to be taken online for students off-shore.
The courses are full-time and are open to students at intermediate level and above. Students whose English does not meet the required level are encouraged to join a general English class before entering the IELTS courses.
Cambridge and IELTS preparation courses are run subject to demand and may require minimum class numbers to run.
Cambridge courses require enrolment for the entire duration of the course. IELTS preparation courses require a minimum enrolment of one full six-week block.
