The curriculum for all courses is well-planned and the emphasis is on making the classes as interesting as possible while improving your level of English as rapidly as possible. 

The Exam Preparation Courses
Delfin provides courses to prepare students for most of the major internationally recognised English exams including:

Cambridge Exams - General English (FCE, CAE, CPE, PET)
The most common exam taken by our students is the Cambridge First Certificate examination (FCE), which is an upper-intermediate level exam and tests the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) and CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) are for advanced levels and the PET (Preliminary English Test) is an intermediate level exam. Although these exams test the four basic skills, there is still a strong emphasis on conversation in the classes.

Business English Exams (BEC)
As well as our regular Business courses we also prepare for the BEC exams. These are a suite of Cambridge business exams which are designed to test English language ability used in the context of business.
