Need a certificate of English for work? Then the B2 First or C1 Advanced is what you need.

A Cambridge English qualification proves you have the language skills to live and work independently in an English-speaking country or study on courses taught in English.

The cost of the exam is approximately £160, depending on the examination centre you choose.

There may be an extra fee of around £15 if you don’t book your exam by the deadline. There are many examination centers around London where you can take the exam, you can find more details about dates and prices here:

Cambridge Exams Course Outlines

On average a unit from the course book is covered in a week. Your teacher will send you a provisional timetable for the week via email before your Tuesday lesson, so you have an idea of what parts of the unit will be covered and when.

Homework is set every evening, including some writing. Evening courses also use course books, but cover a unit in about 2 weeks.

Trial Class

Have a taster of what a lesson would be like when you study with us: qualified teachers, industry recognised resources and real learning.

Are you based in London? Come to the office and book a face-to-face trial lesson.

We also offer online trials depending on the courses currently running.

For about half a year now, I have been studying at Speak Up London, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their English. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Lucas from Speak Up London. He is someone who truly makes studying at the school comfortable, well-organised, and genuinely enjoyable. Lucas is always attentive, ready to help with any questions, and quick to find solutions in both academic and organisational matters. He creates a sense of confidence and a warm, friendly atmosphere, even when you are far away from home. Thanks to his professionalism, kindness, and genuine support, the school becomes a place you are happy to come to every day. Lucas, thank you sincerely for your care, support, and humanity. You make studying here not only effective but truly inspiring and heartwarming!

Una fantastica esperienza che non dimenticherò mai. Sono stata a Londra per migliorare il mio inglese ma ho trovato una famiglia composta da amici provenienti da tutto il mondo e lo devo alla scuola e alla bravura degli insegnanti ma ancora di più ai social programme e le gite fuori porta che mi hanno dato la possibilità non solo di visitare posti nuovi come Canterbury, Cambridge e Brighton ma anche parlale e conoscere nuove persone. Da qui il mio inglese è migliorato notevolmente! Grazie mille Speak Up London a presto! ☺️
