11 week University of Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English Examination Courses
The Certificate in Advanced English offers a high-level qualification to those students who wish to use English in their jobs and whose level is in between First Certificate and Proficiency. The emphasis of the exam is very much directed towards real-world tasks so that you develop those language skills which are most useful to you in your work.

The examination includes:
Paper 1 - reading comprehensions (1.25 hours)
Paper 2 - writing (2 hours)
Paper 3 - English in use (1.25 hours)
Paper 4 - listening tests (45 minutes)
Paper 5 - speaking (15 minutes)

The Certificate in Advanced English Examination was launched in December 1991 and Churchill House runs courses twice a year. Our Cambridge Advanced courses are highly successful, backed by the professional expertise that we have applied to our other Cambridge courses in the last 20 years.

You have 35 lessons per week (26 hours 30 minutes total teaching time). You may be expected to do approximately 12 hours homework a week. There is a maximum of 14 students per class.

Your Examination Class
Your Cambridge examination class is run independently of the other courses so you study only with those students who are taking the same exam as you. All three courses are carefully designed to a formula which has been proved successful by our excellent results.

In the morning class we aim to improve your general English, to develop your vocabulary and awareness of grammar, and to help you specifically with the writing skills and interview techniques that you need for the exam.

In the afternoon class our expert teachers concentrate more on exam techniques providing you with plenty of practice and help with the reading, listening, composition and use of English papers.

To join any of the above courses it is essential that you have the required level of English. If you do not, you should take one of our Lead Up courses which will bring you up to this level.
