Cambridge B2 First Exam Preparation
Course information
Do you want to work or study abroad, or you are proficient in English at level B2 and would like to demonstrate this with an official qualification? Then the Cambridge First Exam is the right choice for you. This exam training prepares you for this exam by improving your language and exam skills.
To participate in the exam training, you will already need to have level B2 proficiency in English. You can read about this level here.
Language skills
The course focuses specifically on the skills required for the exam: reading, writing, speaking and listening. After the course, you will read English articles with ease, even if they are about subjects you don’t know much about. You will be able to quickly review texts and recognise their meaning and type. You will learn to write the different types of texts that you may encounter during the exam: a review, article, essay, report, letter and/or email.
After the course, you will be able to speak and listen efficiently in English. You can give your opinion, support it with arguments and have a discussion in which you discuss the arguments of the other party. You will practise these skills through role-playing and listening exercises, among other things.
During the course, you will work continuously on improving your grammar and expanding your vocabulary. These skills are useful in all test areas and are essential for the ‘use of English’ part of the exam.
Exam skills
In addition to the four language skills, the course will also devote attention to general exam skills, including time management, summarising texts and working out what exactly is being asked. You will practise on official Cambridge Assessment English practice tests.
About the Cambridge B2 First Exam
The Cambridge B2 First Exam is one of Cambridge’s most popular exams, as many companies and universities in non-English speaking countries expect your English to be at least at this level. They will accept the Cambridge B2 First certificate as proof of this. If you want to study in an English-speaking country, B2 is often sufficient for a pre-university or foundation course.
