Your First Day at CIE

A placement test is given to each student on the morning of their first day.

Each student will then be placed in a class group that appropriate to their individual level, according to the result of their placement test.

Our Group Classes

During the academic year, our General English group classes comprise no more than 8 students. In the summer, these classes have a maximum of 12 students.

The small size of our group classes is the secret to much of our students’ continuing success, as the teaching can more easily be tailored to suit the needs of most students.
