For decades, the ENGLISH ACADEMY has been offering special year-long programmes to prepare students for the prestigious Cambridge Certificate exams which may be taken in Brussels in June. The high success rate which our students have had on these exams reflects the quality of our programmes. The Cambridge Certificates, recognised around the world, will definitely increase your chances on the job market. It is an investment in your personal potential. It also gives the holder access to British universities. For companies, the test results constitute an objective and complete assessment of their personnel’s knowledge of English.

Content of the programmes:
 All aspects of the language are covered: conversation, listening comprehension, reading, writing, grammar, exercises, literature, etc., adapted to the group’s level, of course. During classes, participants will take practice tests designed to simulate the actual test conditions of the Cambridge Certificate exams.
Lessons are therefore not only oriented towards improving the student’s ability to use the language, but also concentrate on grammar issues and aspects of written English. In other words: a combination of theory and practice.
Participants will be required to put in considerable effort, meaning that there will be a large volume of homework to be done. This will accelerate the students’ progress. The programme is therefore accessible to all those who wish to study English in a structured and complete manner, including those who do not wish to take one of the Cambridge Certificate exams at the end of the course.
Students will be given a level test to determine which programme and group they will study in. Considering the structured nature of the courses offered, it is advisable to attend these group classes from the beginning of the course.
 Note! All groups are limited to a maximum of 8 students.
