August 2009 Update

2010 Examination Dates

Please note that Cambridge ESOL has increased the number of examination dates in 2010, giving you more flexibility and opportunity:

Because of the potential for confusion with these additional dates, from now on all entries must be on Excel spreadsheet, with all required fields completed.

 

Attention is drawn to the cancellation regulations. Please ensure that your candidates are entered for the correct date.

 

Computer-based testing

The Centre is currently expanding the range of CB exams for which we are approved to include  TKT, PET, FCE, CAE, BEC all three 3 levels, and BULATS

CB authorization will double the number of available exam dates at your school. Please contact us to obtain your CB authorization

 

Examination fees:

The Centre has given an undertaking to keep examination fees unchanged through 2010. However, effective September 1, 2009, late entry fees will change as follows:

 

Late entry fees Stage 1 $50 – Stage 2 $100 – Stage 3 $150    

Late entry fee TKT $100

 

Kindly note: the examination fees invoiced to you by the Centre are wholesale, not retail. Some Canadian and US schools charge as much as $350 (standard in Switzerland) for a Cambridge examination, and you are free to set the net price to your candidates at a level that covers your overheads.

 

BULATS - the business IELTS

Another new opportunity you will be hearing much more about in the coming months is BULATS, the business IELTS. Please contact Shawn Brake, sbrake@cambridgecentre.net, 778-999-9260 to learn how your school can benefit.

 

Advertising Opportunity with www.cambridgecentre.net

The Centre’s website, www.cambridgecentre.net, now has a page rank of 5 and an average of 100 visitors per day – many of whom are looking for language courses. To recognize and assist our Venue partners, we will be listing all your contact details on a new Venue partners page. To further increase your visibility to potential students, for a small maintenance fee of a dollar a day we invite you to add your logo, brand and a short description of your school. Please contact us for further information.
