About the Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)
This is an internationally recognised qualification, which is used at Master's degree level/Level 7, and is recognised by universities, employers and government as proof of proficiency in English.The CPE is the highest level, C2, on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Duration: 8 week evening course
This level 7 course is invaluable to people who require a high standard of written English, particularly those who work or are planning to work in sign language translation. After our successful lobbying of Cambridge University, there has been a change of policy which exempts Deaf people from the Listening and Speaking components of the exams. You can take the other three papers: reading /writing /use of English, and achieve this Level 7 qualification.
Fees: £300 incl VAT + £110 exam fee
