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

"This experience allowed me to be less shy and more confident about my own self"

Miti Maucotel, student from French Polynesia

The first day, was the orientation day, during this day I made new friend from all around the word. I also visited the entire campus with the head teacher, he showed us all de facilities. For my first day, I had a communication class, it was very interesting, the teacher as my classmates were very friendly and welcoming. I above all learnt several things, useful for the all day life. During the lunch time I didn't have enough time to go out with my parents to have lunch. Nevertheless, it allowed me to go to the cafeteria and get along with new people, I made new friends. I really liked this place, it was very entertaining, it is a place where you can meet people from divers countries and religion. The last two days I had speaking class, and as entitled, it was more speaking than writing. There were activities, in which you have to discus about many topics with your group, and after share with the entire class. Over all, this experience was very cool and allowed me to practice and improve my English.
