The "C2 Proficiency Booster" is suited to proficient users who seek intensive and accelerated preparation for the "Cambridge C2 Proficiency" exam. Participants will have the opportunity to develop and practice exam techniques for the four papers (Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and will be supported in their preparation based on previous exam papers. Although the course aims to prepare participants for the Cambridge exam, it can also be taken by those who seek to attain a very advanced level of English without the certificate.
Our Cambridge preparation courses were originally spread over two semesters and lasted 48 lessons. As of the fall semester 2020, the course will be delivered in 32 lessons within one semester. This booster format will prepare participants both swiftly and thoroughly for the official Cambridge C2 Proficiency exam.
Participants needing speaking and writing training can also attend English: Speaking and Writing III.
