Secondary Schools
We can help arrange preparation courses and/or examinations for your students for:
- Trinity ESOL examinations
- Trinity Guildhall Drama examinations
- Cambridge ESOL examinations
Trinity and Cambridge examinations are valued by schools, universities and companies in Hong Kong, Macao, and around the world. Linked to the Common European Framework, these exams test a student's ability to communicate effectively in English at an international level.
Trinity spoken English grades 4, 5, 6 and ISE 0 and I, and Cambridge Flyers, KET and PET represent the English levels suitable for students who want to study at an EMI secondary school. These examinations are recognised by the Hong Kong English Medium of Instruction Secondary Schools Association.
Trinity spoken English grades 10 to 12 and ISE III, and Cambridge CAE represent the English levels required to study in an English university.
Trinity Examinations can be held at your school (minimum 25 candidates) or at EfA's centres in Sheung Wan and Prince Edward (Hong Kong), Nam Wan (Macao), or Futian (Shenzhen). Find out more
Cambridge examinations can be held at your school (minimum 50 candidates) or at the British Council in Admiralty (Hong Kong). Find out more
