The FCE is the most widely recognized proof of language ability at the upper intermediate level. The CAE also has tremendous popularity as an assessment of advanced abilities in English.

Students in the FCE and CAE Preparation Courses focus on not only passing the final examination, but also on improving their general accuracy and fluency in English.

These are academically rigorous courses, limited to FCE and CAE students who will take the exam at its conclusion. All students must successfully pass a pre-test in order to participate in these courses. All three ELC locations are proud to be official University of Cambridge testing centers.

English level evaluation with multi-level placement Placement testing includes a grammar section, a writing section, and an interview with the Director of Courses. The three separate components of the test allow us to make accurate placements for each of the student’s classes.

Certificate of Completion After completing your course at ELC with satisfactory attendance and performance, you will be granted a certificate of completion.

Authorized test centers All ELC centers are authorized test administration sites for the Institutional TOEFL, Institutional TOEIC and all of the Cambridge examinations including FCE, CAE and CPE. - The Institutional TOEFL and Institutional TOEIC exams are offered to students at each center every four weeks - FCE, CAE and CPE examinations are offered on select dates

IBT TOEFL and TOEIC test registration The Director of Courses can personally assist you in registering for the official IBT TOEFL and TEOIC test through ETS (Educational Testing Services). There are test centers in Los Angeles, Boston and Santa Barbara that offer the IBT TOEFL exam (weekly) and IBT TOEIC exam (monthly).

Activities and Excursions Each ELC center publishes a monthly activities calendar, which includes fun and exciting things to do with other ELC students outside of the classroom. All ELC activities are chaperoned by ELC staff and teachers. ELC activities are a great way to get to know other students, staff and the city you are studying and living in.
