The 5 skills

Every exam tests five skills. We train all five.

The Common European Framework splits language ability into five skills. Exams score each one — so we train, measure and correct each one.

    Understand lectures, conversations and announcements at natural speed.

    How we train itAuthentic audio, note-taking and timed question sets.
  2. 2

    Reading

    Find information fast and grasp the writer’s argument.

    How we train itSkimming and scanning drills on real exam texts.
  3. 3

    Writing

    Produce essays, reports and letters in the right register.

    How we train itWeekly tasks marked against the official criteria.
  4. 4

    Spoken production

    Present, describe and argue on your own, fluently.

    How we train itTimed monologues, recorded and reviewed.
  5. 5

    Spoken interaction

    Discuss, negotiate and respond naturally with others.

    How we train itMock interviews and paired speaking tasks.

How long do I need to prepare?

Most candidates need a six-to-eight-week sprint if they are already at the required level. If not, our Exam Foundations course builds the level first. The free diagnostic gives you a realistic timeline.

Is the diagnostic test really free?

Yes. The diagnostic across the five skills and the talk with a teacher are free and come before any payment.

For French, TCF Canada or TEF Canada; for English, IELTS General Training or CELPIP. We explain which test fits your immigration programme and the NCLC / CLB levels you need.

Do you register me for the exam?

Registration is done with the official test centres, but we guide you through dates, documents and fees, and time your preparation to your session.

Can I prepare online?

Yes. Private coaching and some group sprints run live online, with the same mocks and feedback as in the centre.

Yes — English, French and Spanish programmes for groups of 4 to 10, on-site, at our centre or online, with a language audit and HR reporting.
