“During my General English studies I improved my grammar and speaking. I started at a Pre-Intermediate level and now I’m Upper Intermediate! I had a great time going out and seeing the nightlife of Perth. I visited Fremantle, Cottesloe Beach and the Swan Valley. The best thing about Phoenix Academy was meeting people from different countries and living with a true Australian family.” Angela, Germany

Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE) CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: PRELIMINARY (PET) This course develops a student’s ability to communicate in English for everyday practical tasks and situations. This includes reading simple texts and articles in English, writing letters and emails on everyday subjects and showing awareness of opinions and mood in spoken and written English. This course is also a stepping stone towards Cambridge English: First (FCE) achievement. The course is delivered as a flexible rolling curriculum to ensure all skills are covered, with exam practice every Friday. To enrol in the course it is not compulsory to undertake the PET examination on completion, however if you wish to gain the Cambridge Certificate then the examinations are held 3 times throughout the year. Please see the table below for details.
YOUR PASSPORT TO SUCCESS! The Cambridge University Examination Courses offer you the ultimate verification that you have been externally assessed and graded. Many companies around the world require a Cambridge Certificate for employment, promotion and recruitment. Phoenix Academy has over twenty years of experience in successfully preparing thousands of students for the Cambridge Examinations. A large team of specialised Cambridge teachers who are trained to know the syllabus and examination intimately will ensure your success. Special Features of the Cambridge Preparation Courses include: • Pre-qualifying entrance examination available in your home country. • The latest course books are used, providing comprehensive study of all the skills required to pass the examinations. • Examination practice, including mock examinations, are an integral part of the program. • Extensive self-access materials are available for each examination. • Computer laboratory for self-study. • Individual coaching by our expert teaching staff for advice on your personalised self-access program.
FIRST CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION (FCE) PREPARATION This course is ideal for students who need to be able to communicate confidently in English in most situations. Students who would like to take the FCE Preparation Course need to pass the FCE entry test at an Intermediate level before being accepted. In addition the Academy offers the opportunity for strong FCE candidates to study in the FCE Preparation Course and also enrol in the CAE examination if they wish.
CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: ADVANCED (CAE) This course is designed for students who should already be able to communicate easily in most everyday situations. It is particularly suitable for students who need to use English at work or for study. Students who would like to take the CAE Course need to pass the CAE entry test at an Upper-Intermediate level before being accepted. The Academy offers the opportunity for strong CAE candidates to study in the CAE Preparation Course and also enrol in the Cambridge Proficiency Examination (CPE) if they wish. This is recognised by DIBP (Department of Immigration and Border Protection) as equivalent to IELTS 6.0 for entry to Australian universities.
“I chose to study in Western Australia because it would be a great opportunity to improve my English and learn about the culture. The Phoenix Academy Cambridge FCE course is very well organised and I really enjoy going to all the excursions with my classmates. My teacher has a great sense of humour and he combines fun in his teaching, making the course very practical and much easier to learn.” Camille, Switzerland
