§ 01 · The argument

There's a difference between speaking a language and performing in it under real pressure.

Your level is rarely the problem. The format is.

A nurse who had spent two years in Ireland speaking English every day failed the OET three times. She passed the IELTS on the first attempt. She wasn't short of English. She was short of knowing what the exam measured.

That pattern repeats: candidates with level to spare who lose points on technique. The time that slips away on a single task. The answer format nobody taught them. The criteria used to mark the very part they find hardest.

We've spent 15 years on a single discipline. Preparing candidates for that moment. The master's. The public-sector exam. The meeting that doesn't forgive. The certificate is the consequence. Performance is the goal.

Aptis · One to One
An excellent experience with the academy. At first I wanted to do an Aptis intensive course, but when no group formed I went for the One to One classes and it was a great decision.

B2
A 10 out of 10 academy. I needed to get my English B2 in a short time and, thanks to the teachers’ help and dedication, I got it. The whole team is friendly and approachable and always looks out for whatever you need.

A very well coordinated team that, without a doubt, makes preparing for the IELTS much easier. Very well organised classes, focused on the student’s goal. I have had a really good experience!

§ 06 · Frequently asked questions

What candidates ask before they start.

Q · 01 Which exams does ULIC prepare? +
We prepare the official Cambridge English exams (B2 First, C1 Advanced, C2 Proficiency), IELTS Academic and General Training, TOEFL, TOEIC, Aptis, Linguaskill, LanguageCert, Anglia and the Duolingo English Test. Each exam has its own page with all the information you need.
Q · 02 Are you an official Cambridge centre? +
We are an Official Cambridge Preparation Centre and an official Anglia Examinations centre (ES-B180538) and an official IELTS affiliate. Cambridge exams are sat with ExamsOne, official exam centre ES945 (formerly ULIC Examinations): we handle your registration. We have been preparing candidates since 2010.
Q · 03 Is preparation online or in person? +
Both. We train in person at our Chamberí centre (Fernando el Católico 64, Madrid) and live online. One-to-One lessons can be combined in any format.
Q · 04 How do I choose my exam? +
Start with a free diagnostic consultation. We tell you which exam your destination really asks for (university, visa, public-sector exam or company), what band you are at today and how many weeks stand between you and your goal. A third leave with a different exam from the one they expected.
Q · 05 Is corporate training FUNDAE-eligible? +
Yes. In-company training is FUNDAE-eligible. We design bespoke programmes for teams and certify the level with Linguaskill or Aptis. More detail in corporate training.
Q · 06 Which suits me better, Cambridge or IELTS? +
It depends on what you need it for. Cambridge certificates never expire and are the ones Spanish universities, professional bodies and public-sector exams ask for. IELTS is valid for two years and is the standard for visas and universities in the UK, Ireland, Canada or Australia. In the diagnostic consultation we settle it with your specific case in front of us.
Q · 07 How long does it take to prepare an official exam? +
It depends on the distance between your level today and the band your goal requires. If the level is already there and you only need to master the format, a four-week intensive is usually enough. If you are half a level or more away, a term of sustained work is realistic. The initial diagnostic gives you a plan with concrete weeks before you pay anything.
Q · 08 Can I find out my level before starting? +
Yes. We have a free online level test that includes a speaking task with an examiner on video and places you on the CEFR scale. With that result we tell you which exam fits your goal and how much preparation stands between you and it.
Q · 09 Who handles the exam registration? +
We do. We propose the sitting that fits your preparation and handle the registration for you. Cambridge exams are sat with ExamsOne, official exam centre ES945; Anglia exams are sat at our own centre. You focus on training.
