For the students of Grades XI and XII, a talk on C1 Advanced in English was conducted at PPSCIS on April 17, 2023.
Introducing the qualification, the speaker Mr. John D’Souza, Director, The English Advantage, Cambridge informed the audience that C1 Advanced is an in-depth, high level qualification that shows that one has the language skills which employers and universities are looking for. Before dealing with the details of the qualification such as the various components, exam fees and exam calendars, through a comparison between IELTS and C1 Advanced, he told the students how the former was a Language test with a validity of only two years while the latter was an advanced language qualification with lifetime validity.
Sharing a long list of top universities and employers from across the globe, the speaker enlightened the students how the qualification would improve and enhance their prospects of admission in top universities or working with top companies in the world.
The talk ended after a very brief ‘Ask your Questions’ part.
