"It was a big pleasure being here and getting prepared for my CPE exams."
Marcel Leupi, Camridge course student, Switzerland 2007
These classes will help you to:
- practise the different tasks you have to do for each part of the exam
- learn personal strategies to do the tasks more effectively
- organise your learning
Please note that in order to run a Cambridge exam class for a particular exam we need to have a large enough number of students.
Syllabus Content and Focus
We have a separate syllabus for each of the Cambridge Exam Course classes. These focus on:
- key topics that are often in the exams
- the different writing tasks in the various Cambridge exams
- regular practice of the reading, speaking and listening
- the most useful grammar, vocabulary and functional language for tasks that you are required to do in the exam

| Morning class3 | 10.55 - 11.40 | General English - Grammar and Vocabulary |
| Morning class4 | 11.44 - 12.30 | General English - Grammar and Vocabulary |
| Lunch and Free classes | ||
| Afternoon class 5 | 2.25 - 3.10 | We use one main coursebook and a number of other materials to help you practise the tasks and prepare effectively. |
