GPE with Cambridge Examination preparation

First Certificate in English (FCE) - Level 5ii Course
Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) - Level 6 Course
The Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) and Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) are examinations which test students’ proficiency in general English. They are practical, skills-based examinations with papers in reading, writing, English in use, listening and speaking. The exams are recognised worldwide as a reliable assessment of English proficiency.

FCE and CAE preparation is available within General English and offered throughout the year. Students use Cambridge textbooks and the courses provide practice in all the necessary skills for success in the exam. They also help develop independent learning strategies, for example to revise and extend your vocabulary and grammar knowledge.
Courses focus more intensely on examination preparation in the ten weeks before each exam (in mid-March, June and December).

Students complete practice tests, simulated interviews and work on time-management skills for each exam paper.

To provide a current, accurate indicator level of their skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, students are assessed in their on-going performance in the classroom and also in practice examinations.

Students are strongly advised to enrol for preparation courses.

Before completing your application for this course, please read the following information on How to Enrol . This information will assist you in completing your application correctly.

Final course marks are based on:

• Ongoing assessment in class based on clearly focused tasks.
• Participation in class activities such pair work, group work and special projects.
• Homework tasks and special assignments based on researching topics and spoken presentations.
• Term tests based on material covered during the period of study.

At the successful completion of a course or series of courses, students will receive a UNSW Institute of Languages certificate at a graduation ceremony.
