Course description

The ILSC Cambridge Mastery Program is designed to prepare you for success on the Cambridge Main Suite
Exams (FCE, CAE, CPE, and BEC). The exams test reading, use of English, writing, listening and speaking,
and all of these skills will be covered throughout the program. Instructors will use various methods to
assess your strengths and weaknesses at the beginning of the program in order to focus the coursework on
the skill areas that need the most improvement.
Weekly practice tests will measure your progress and help you become familiar with the type of questions
and test materials you’ll encounter on the official exams. They’ll also help you get comfortable with
completing exam tasks under pressure. A diverse range of multi-media materials will help familiarize you
with different accents, and improve your listening comprehension.
While the program aim is to provide you with practice, skills and test-taking tips to succeed on the exam,
it will also help you improve your overall English language
