Alumni programme
For everyone who has taken an exam with us: applied training for the situations where English counts — negotiations, sales, presentations. Not language courses, but training on your own cases.
Why
B2 First or C1 Advanced proves that you know English. Whether you win a negotiation in English is decided in the meeting room — not in the exam room.
That is exactly where the alumni programme starts. We train the situations the certificate is the foundation for: your own cases, in small groups, with feedback from people who examine at that level.
Applied training
Small groups, your own examples, and something tangible to take away from every course.
Hold your position, manage concessions, say no without damaging the relationship. With role plays from purchasing, sales and contract talks.
Uncover needs, articulate value, handle objections. For field sales, key account management and customer service with international clients.
Structure, transitions, questions from the floor. You give your own presentation and get feedback on both language and delivery.
Set the agenda, chair the discussion, interrupt, summarise. Built for video calls across several sites and accents.
Emails, reports and proposals that are short and clear. Using your own texts instead of textbook examples.
Why the same sentence lands differently in London, New York and Singapore — and how to avoid the misunderstandings.
Alumni benefits
Employers and universities check your result online. We help you release it — even years later.
If a new job asks for C1, that should not come as a surprise. On request we get in touch before it gets tight.
Preferential terms for the next exam level and for every applied training course.
Twice a year: a short talk in English, then conversation — with people who have taken the same route.
Your path
Many candidates take B2 First and find two years later that a new job requires C1. With the alumni programme that is not a surprise but a plan.
Common questions
Anyone who has taken a Cambridge exam or Linguaskill with us — even years ago. Joining is free of charge.
No. Language courses build grammar and vocabulary. Our training assumes your level is already certified and practises concrete situations: a negotiation, a presentation, a difficult client conversation.
Most courses assume B2; business writing starts at B1. If you are unsure, a glance at your certificate is enough — or take the free level check.
Yes. Companies book it in-house, often following a Linguaskill assessment. We then train exactly the skills where the report shows a gap.
Prices depend on the format. Alumni receive preferential terms, which we send out with the dates. For teams we prepare a quote.
Free of charge. You receive the training dates and an invitation to the next alumni evening.
After a Linguaskill assessment we train precisely where the report shows a gap.
Developing your teams →The level check takes two minutes and shows which exam is the right one now.
