Cambridge C1 Advanced Exam Preparation Course

Formerly known as the Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English (CAE)

The C1 Advanced exam is a test of general English language ability run by Cambridge ESOL. As with other Cambridge exams such as the B2 First and C2 Proficiency, the qualification is widely recognised in European countries by employers, and increasingly recognised in Asia and South America. It is not intended as a test that measures English ability for entry to English-speaking universities and other institutions, but a pass in one of the Cambridge exams is often accepted as evidence of English-language ability for this purpose. We offer full-time preparation courses for C1 Advanced from January, March and September.
