Hello, anyone join the class by erican centre before? I want to improve my english before taking ielts test. So I went there to take their placement test. The course they offer me was FCE/CAE which is cambridge esol. It's weird because I will be studying with a group of secondary students. blink.gif
Those who ever join, which programme r u in? how was it?

I studied in Erican for 2 years now, so far no problem. British Council and ELS also good, studied there before, but very expensive. One thing i like about Erican is the Cambridge esol certificate and public speaking, very useful and very nice!

No problem! Cambridge Esol exams are proficiency test which assess candidates on their 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

It has several levels of exams to choose, you can take low level exams (KET or PET) when you are beginner/pre-intermediate level, and you can take high level exams (FCE/CAE) when you reached upper-intermediate or advanced level. So what I did was I sat for KET and PET in the last 2 years, this year I will seat for FCE.
Cambridge Esol certificate is issued by University of Cambridge, so it is very nice and prestigious. My employer actual wants me to upgrade my English so that I can be promoted to higher position. That’s what I am focusing now.

Invisible, erican centre at ss2. I ask them about the ielts preparation class but they say they don't have it.

MsPopcorn, serious? learning present tense and past tense?If it is, it will be waste. What price they give you? Mine is RM3.5k for 3 months, which I think it's overpriced some more learning with all the secondary students as I'm a uni student already. The person of the centre told me they will be teaching based on the textbooks. They will be teaching reading,speaking,listening and writing. And for listening there will be CD to be played. Is that true? Did they really teach these all 4 skills? 

imnotakid, i did went to british council, but I can't join the next intake which is april because it will be too late as I need my ielts test by june.

Elleelf, how come you are aksed to pay RM3.5k for 3 months? I am only paying RM500 for 3 months studying on a part-time basis. Are you doing an intensive class or full-time programme?

I am very curious, please reply.

wwiifan1943, r u having class once a week? I'm not sure can be said as intensive or not. (Coz for me intensive English should be full time and having classes everyday) But, according to the centre, she suggests me to take 4 classes of 2 hours lessons per week for 3 months, there will be mix of 2 levels or 3 levels, which she said is intensive. She said she calculate the price based on hours for each levels, which comes out with roughly rm3.5k. I won't be able to complete any one of the levels. Is it reasonable?

Yes i have classes only once a week, each lesson 3 hours. Your arrangement is kinda interesting, sounded like a semi-intensive to intensive class, no wonder the pricing is so much different. If you are short of time then may be is good to study intensive class. Of course the price is high, it's a decision to be made.
