A tried and tested way of improving your English language ability is to follow a course that prepares you for an internationally recognised certificate. For employers and higher education institutions these qualifications provide evidence of your dedication and commitment to improving your English.
Cambridge certificates are accepted by universities for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, employers, agencies and governments worldwide. The best thing about this certificate is that it stays with you for life.
CAE (Cambridge English: Advance) will show that you hold a C1 (CEFR) level of English (Advanced level ) and that you are able to use the structures of the language with ease and fluency, with minor lapses in accuracy and appropriateness. You will have 30 lessons (22.5 hours per week).
The First and the Advanced exams follow a similar structure, with four different sections: Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Only the first sections (Reading and Use of English) are slightly different, where the First exam lasts 75 minutes, the Advanced exam takes 90 minutes.
In the Writing part you will be required to write two different essays in 80 minutes, the Listening section will take 40 minutes and, lastly, you will finish your Cambridge exam with an interview, normally with other candidates, which usually takes 15 minutes.
Please note that this preparation course is available for 6 or 10 weeks on the following dates:-
08 January 2018 (10 weeks), 05 February 2018 (6 weeks) - provisional exam date on 17 March 2018
26 March 2018 (10 weeks), 23 April 2018 (6 weeks) - provisional exam date on 02 June 2018
01 October 2018 (10 weeks), 29 October 2018 (6 weeks) - provisional exam date on 08 December 2018
The minimum level required for the 10 week course is B2 and for the 6 week course is C1.

In one sentence, it was an excellent experience. The school is very well organized, in terms of class arrangement and the teacher's qualification.
The location, facilities are perfect. They should have more activities in order for students to have more contact with English in real life.
About housing, It should have more diversity of food. The lunch is not that good and a bit expensive for students.
I was like very good the classes with a small number of students, all are appreciated.
