Prepare to take and pass the CAE Cambridge Exam with ELC. Our exam preparation courses are 30 lessons per week and 4-week, 6-week, 9-week, 10-week, and 11-week courses are offered at ELC Santa Barbara. Cambridge Exam preparation courses are closed-group English language courses. Students wishing to enroll in a CAE course must demonstrate a sufficient level of English proficiency by successfully passing a preliminary ELC English language assessment. Students who pass a CAE pre-enrollment assessment are admitted to Cambridge courses on a preliminary, conditional basis. Students must take and pass a secondary exam during their first week of the course. Students who wish to enter a pathways program at ELC can include a Cambridge Exam Preparation Course as part of their studies.
