General English - Certificate Courses:
The Certificate of English is our most popular course, promising all-round improvement in every area of general English. It's available in every Embassy school worldwide.

You can join on any Monday, and following our entrance test, you'll be placed into a class with other students at your level. Study for as long or as short as you like, from two weeks upwards. It's a very flexible course.

Cambridge ESOL Examination Courses:
Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Language) examinations are offered at three levels:

* FCE (First Certificate in English)
* CAE (Certificate in Advanced English)
* CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English)

The Cambridge examinations are recognised worldwide as proof of your English language ability. They can be used in applications for jobs, and, in some cases, for universities. But they are also a satisfying measure of personal achievement.

Since they are offered at a variety of levels, Cambridge exams are a good choice if you wish to demonstrate your progress, or gain a qualification in a short space of time. One natural path is to progress from FCE (which is approximately Upper Intermediate level), through CAE (Advanced) to CPE (Proficient).

Certificate of Business English:
The Certificate of Business English is a course offering General English with Business electives, designed to deliver you into the workplace with a fully functional command of the English language. With focus on communication - in writing, reading and spoken language - this course combination will ensure that you can face any situation in the English-speaking Business environment.

Academic Year Abroad:
The Diploma of English is our best-value English course, offering intensive, long-term study. It's available in a choice of 16 Embassy schools worldwide. The Embassy Diploma is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Imagine the fluency and cultural understanding you'll attain, studying and living in an Anglophone country for up to nine months - the friends you'll make; the success you'll achieve.

There are four start dates to choose from: in January, April, July, and September. After taking our entrance test, you'll be placed into a class with other students at your level.

Advanced Academic Year Abroad:
The Diploma of Advanced English has been created specifically for those with a near-proficient level of English. As you will know, no matter how fluent you are in a language, there is always scope to improve your vocabulary, idiomatic speech, pronunciation, and advanced grammatical forms.

Now you can study a structured course, especially formulated to challenge even the most fluent of speakers. Flexible enough to answer your specific needs and rectify any weaknesses in your English skills, the Diploma of Advanced English allows for a high level of individual choice.

Lessons include tutorials, study visits, lectures, computer assisted workshops, practice tests and presentations; there is also a rotating choice of elective modules, allowing you to choose areas most relevant to your needs and interests.
