The Cambridge English Main Suite of exams are available at authorised centres all over the world and they are recognised by employers and universities as valid and reliable  English Language Tests. First of all, you can prepare for any of the Cambridge range of exams (offered at various levels PET, FCE, CAE and CPE) at ESE in Malta, although the exam you sit for will depend on your level of English on entry into the exam preparation course. The result you receive on your certificate certifies the language level you have achieved.

 

 

Exams are held three to four times a year.

 

You may study English for Cambridge exams at the following different levels:

  • Preliminary English Test (PET)
  • First Certificate Test (FCE)
  • Cambridge Advanced English (CAE)
  • Cambridge Proficiency English (CPE)

To follow a Cambridge exam preparation course with ESE, you must be at least 17 years old and have a minimum language level relevant to the level of the exam you choose to sit for. 

The levels of proficiency required to be accepted on a Cambridge course are as follows: 

 

  • You must have an intermediate level (B1 CEFR) of English to apply for PET 
  • You must have an upper intermediate level (B2 CEFR) of English to apply for FCE 
  • You must have an advanced level of English (C1 CEFR) to apply for CAE 
  • You must be proficient in English (C2 CEFR) to apply for CPE 

 

If you are not yet at the required language level, you can join a pre-sessional English language course or Academic Year Course before enrolling on the Cambridge examination preparation course of your choice. The Cambridge examinations are held in Malta in March, June, August (FCE and CAE only) and December. Start dates for the Cambridge courses depend on the level and examination you can follow. The course is 8 weeks long. 

 

Other exam preparation courses such as IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL are also available at ESE – check out this blog to learn more.

What is your level of English?

Don’t worry – we’ll walk you through it.

 

Before booking, you are required to submit a 250-word essay on a given title which will be reviewed by our exam coordinator. However, it will be your second test which determines allocation to a class. This is held on your first day at the school to re-confirm your level. These tests are conducted for the sole purpose of ensuring you follow your course at the right level in order to achieve your academic goals.
