At CLIP AdvancEd, we provide official preparation courses and exam registration for a variety of internationally recognised language certificates. These exams assess and certify a student's level of proficiency in accordance with the Common Euopean Framework of reference for Languages (CEFR), the global standard for measuring language competence. These are some of the most prestigious, life-long certifications, highly valued by universities and employers.
Who can enrol?
In partnership with CLIP's English and Foreign Languages departments, we have developed a dedicated programme that enables students to build on their curricular language learning and work towards internationally recognised language certifications.
To support this, CLIP AdvancEd has created specific preparation courses focused on the structure and requirements of each exam, guiding students throughout the process, including on the day of the exam itself.
Based on the student lists provided by the school's language departments and taking into account each student's language level, CLIP AdvancEd will contact parents/guardians with a tailored proposal for exam enrolment and preparation.
In addition to students recommended by the curricular departments, any student may independently express their interest in these exams. In such cases, we will assess the student's current language level and, based on the results, suggest the most suitable exam and preparation course.
This can be particularly valuable for students who are leaving CLIP, as it gives them the opportunity to complete their time at the school with an internationally recognised language certification.
