The "C1 Advanced Booster" is suited to advanced users who seek intensive and accelerated preparation for the "Cambridge C1 Advanced" 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 an 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 C1 Advanced exam.
Participants needing grammar training should also attend English: Advanced Grammar and Vocabulary.
Participants needing speaking and writing training should also attend English: Speaking and Writing II.
