The Cambridge exams are the world’s leading range of certificates for learners of English. Each year they are taken by over 1.5 million people in 135 countries. The CAE and the CPE are recog­nised by the majority of British and a lot of American universities for English entrance require­ments.

The Cambridge Certificate Courses are two intensive language training programs for the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and the Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). These are the two most advanced English language exams in which the CPE represents the pinnacle of English proficiency. These courses are amongst the most esteemed international qualifications provided by the University of Cambridge.

We will meet in either double lessons fortnightly or weekly single lessons during two semesters depending on the general timetable. Your examinations, which cost approximately CHF 420.00, will take place in the city of Basel on two different days in December 2025, coinciding with the conclusion of our one-year course. Your results from the entry test in December 2024 will determine whether you will join the CAE or the CPE course.

Students who wish to participate should be highly motivated, fluent and prepared to work through sets of the five different exam papers (Reading, Writing, Use of English, Listening and Speaking) of previous years: Apart from filling your specific language gaps in the lessons you will also have to work a lot at home; especially essay-writing and use of English will have to be trained extensively.
