Language Skills & Practice

Many young people, after 200, 300 or 400 hours of English at school, are quite comfortable in writing. They master a large vocabulary and understand a lot of things. But they are blocked in speaking. As a result, they will do well on tests like the TOEIC that do not include speaking. But they will have difficulty integrating into international environments.

YOUR PASS TO SUCCESS

Generally speaking, the purpose of a competitive examination is to recruit people into the civil service. But other civil service jobs, admission to engineering schools, business schools or even administration schools is done through competitive examinations at the end of preparatory classes. In some cases, competitions and professional examinations are organised to obtain a new position or a promotion in grade.
