Cambridge English C2 Proficiency (CPE)

Cambridge English C2 Proficiency is the final exam based step to complete mastery of the English language. Students who successfully pass the exam will be confident in communications skills across almost any context, from social interaction to complex business or academic discussions and debates. Students will be able to read and fully comprehend a range of authentic texts from popular fiction to non-specialist academic materials of any length. To be understood by listeners, the speaking will require no more concentration than is required to understand a native speaker. Students will be comfortable with written English across at least two registers, formal and informal, with little if any grammatical or lexical error. In sum, after taking CPE at Discover English students will be ‘fluent’ in English by any standard or definition of that word.
Discover English’s CPE course will not be easy, although we do hope it will be enjoyable and rewarding. The course textbook is challenging and a range of authentic texts will be used on a daily basis. Your grammar knowledge will be stretched and you will be expected to produce written work at least twice a week. A range of practice test papers will be used throughout the course and a full mock exam will take place over the 5th week. Students undertaking the CPE course are expected to be fully committed, self-motivated and prepared to study in their free time. Homework will be set most days, or every day including weekends if required.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
All prospective students will need to undertake an internal Discover English placement test unless they have a valid IELTS certificate with an overall score of 7.5 with no band below 7.0 or a CAE pass B or above.
