Overall level: We assess the students in according with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) by refering to 'can do' descriptors.
This is reflected on their end-of-course certificate. Please note, this is not an official CEFR certificate, but our assessment of students' performance.
Here is a video from Cambridge Assessment English with more information:
We work as an official preparation centre for Cambridge Exams, and Alex has been a Cambridge Speaking Examiner at all levels, from levels A2 to C2, since 2004.
Level of improvement: this is, we believe, the most important measurement of a successful course. We:
compare performance at the beginning and at the end of the course, both in and out of class
analyse the level of knowledge that underlies that performance, which is what will help students continue learning after the course
write a comprehensive report on the students' progress, which we share with parents
