The Cambridge exam suite shows your general English level and is sometimes used for employers or schools (although IELTS is more popular for universities). The Cambridge English exams are divided into levels from KET (A2 – elementary) to CPE (C2 – proficient/native-speaker level). We will advise you on which level to take and how to ace the test.

There are no levels of IELTS, it’s the same test for everyone and your score will determine your level of English. Our specialist IELTS course includes an in-depth focus on each section of the test and practice exams with personalised feedback.

Nacel is an exceptional school where you stand a good chance of brushing up on your English level. In fact, it's a big break for engaging with native English teachers and classmates all over the world. Teachers are always willing to clear up your doubts and they truly care about your progress with your English. Besides, you could go on outings alongside with the other learners and teachers which is a quite striking experience since you could hang out with foreign people while you learn more about British culture, customs and traditions. Therefore, I just want to thank all teachers (Anne-Marie, Jonathan, Tony and Nick),classmates and staff with whom I enjoyed meeting at Nacel as they really went a long way in boosting my confidence with English! So, if you are really into enhancing your English speaking, listening or writing, I recommend that you give it a shot at Nacel. It will undoubtedly be a remarkable life experience!

I did a 6 week class back in 2016/1017 in preparation for the Cambridge Advanced Exam. Fellow students quick became friends and the time at the school was a great experience. I felt supported by the teachers and they could explain everything so well. I would recommend this school to everyone and I would go back there in a heart beat if I ever need to. Thank you Nacel, I miss you!

The Nacel English School is fantastic and I really enjoy it. Last year I had pleasure to study there during three weeks. The English teachers are very good and kind also they have big skill to teach English. Now, in 2020, I’m whatching the live classes on social media and it’s great because I can learn more and review what I’ve learned 01 year ago. Thanks so much Nacel.

I had a really good experience in this school. Today is my last day and I'm so impressed how my English has improved so much. All the teachers in this school are native English speakers. Maybe this is is the reason for my fast development and good pronunciation!

It took me a while to decide which English school I wanted to go to because there are so many. Nacel English School had very good reviews so I thought I should go for this one. Indeed it is a great English school in London! My English improved much faster than I thought and the school has a great atmosphere. The teachers are very very nice, and they make the learning easy. The staff at the reception are always very helpful and made my stay in London much easier. I also like meeting people from around the world in the school, it’s easy to make friendships. I am very happy of my choice with this school.
