The C2 Development Course
Exam Skills and Real-Life English
by Ben Crompton ELT
The journey to C2 does not end with a textbook. This 10 week C2 Development Course is built for people who are preparing to take the C2 Proficiency exam and want to bridge the gap between classroom English and the real world. With guided self-study reflection tasks, a bank of exam practice activities, and weekly 90 minute live sessions focused on authentic fluency and precision exam tactics, this is where you develop the skills to become a C2 master.
1. The Big Question
Every two weeks, you are given a new inquiry question to drive your learning. You will dive into complex, real-world topics that force you to use English to think, argue, and solve problems. This builds the natural fluency needed to excel in your C2 Proficiency exam and in your professional life.
2. 90-minute live sessions
Take part in dynamic, fast-paced discussion classes that give you expert exam training using high-level real-life English. You will explore the trickiest aspects of the test, giving you the expert skills you need to achieve your best on exam day.
3. Real-world material
Think podcasts, articles, and documentaries intended for highly proficient speakers. You will learn to unpick the subtle idioms, cultural references, and hidden meanings that help you sound like an authentic, confident English speaker.
4. Exam bank
You will have access to an extensive exam bank of practice tasks for every part of the test. There are weekly opportunities for feedback on your written and spoken English through exam-style tasks to ensure you are ready for the big day.
5. WhatsApp community
This bridges the gap between our live sessions. You will get short, punchy daily tasks to keep your brain in English mode, plus a space to swap ideas with peers and get direct support from your tutor, Ben.
