Part C – (first period of course – until final 6 weeks before examination) - 5 lessons per week intensive grammar to give additional support and guidance to achieve greater accuracy in English.
Part D – (final period of course – the final 6 weeks up to the examination date) - 5 lessons per week intensive examination practice & guidance to fully prepare for CPE.

CLASS SIZE

ASSESSMENT
This course leads to the examination chosen by the individual student, though it is NOT compulsory to take the examination at the end of the course; all participants will also be given a certificate issued by Severnvale Academy which gives a clear statement of English level - both functionally (communication level) and structurally (grammar level). These levels are assessed through continuous assessment and/or formal testing.
