Challenging yourself in English: The Cambridge Advanced C1 Certificate!

Do you love the English language and want to prove your skills? Are you thinking about studying abroad or applying for an international job or internship? Or maybe you just want to challenge yourself and take your language abilities to the next level?

The Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) Certificate is one of the best ways to do just that! Recognized by over 9,000 universities, employers, and institutions worldwide, this exam proves that you can use English confidently in academic and professional settings.

The exam tests your key language skills in four exciting sections. Reading & The Use of English challenges you with complex texts while refining your grammar and vocabulary. In Writing, you’ll express ideas clearly through essays, reports, or letters. The Listening section tests your understanding of spoken English in real-world situations, and the Speaking test lets you show off your fluency in an interactive and fun way!

The exam is open to everyone, and it’s conveniently held in Hamburg! It’s a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to earn their Cambridge C1 Advanced Certificate without traveling far.

To help students prepare, our school offers a weekend preparation seminar that provides a comprehensive exam overview. During the seminar, we explore all parts of the test, focusing on reading comprehension, grammar, and speaking. Ms. Berkefeld explains the key requirements, highlighting important details and effective preparation strategies. We also exchange tips with peers and discuss solutions together, which enhances our learning. Additionally, we can submit writing tasks for feedback, which helps refine our skills. The seminar not only deepened my understanding of the exam but also gave me the confidence and motivation to take on the challenge!
