Being a Primary School Teacher myself, and also after having lived abroad and worked in TEFL too, I have seen this course totally essential as it covers very specific strategies for the CPE C2 exam. I genuinely recommend everyone to take this course. I am having my exam tomorrow. Even though it´s nerve-wracking I feel confident I´ll do my best with the strategies I have been given. Wish me luck! Thank you so much!

I decided to prepare by myself for my upcoming CAE and found Ben on YouTube. I found this course to be tremendously helpful and enjoyed it a lot. What stood out the most to me was, that beyond giving all the relevant and necessary information about the structure of the exam, Ben shared incredible tips on how to approach each part. He'll encourage you to find your own way of completing each task, offering several strategies, because, well, people are different, right? Whenever I reached out with a question he responded super quickly and thoroughly. Thank you so much, Ben, can't wait to share my results with you!

Before anything else, I want to thank you Ben for this course! And now for the review... At first, I didn't really know where to start with the preparation: it felt like there were so many things that had to been taken into account, like understanding the exam format, learning vocabulary and doing exam papers. I think it felt quite overwhelming, but having found Ben's channel on YouTube and knowing how helpful that was, I made a decision. I bought the C1 course and, I have to say, it was invaluable: not only did I learn about what was expected of me as a candidate, but I also learned how to approach the exam. I have achieved the desired result and, looking back, I do not regret having bought the course one bit. In fact, I wholeheartedly recommend it to those interested in passing the exam with flying colours. For me, it proved to be of paramount importance :)
