Testimonials
The exam center is very well located for those who live in Linha de Cascais and that was a plus for me. The staff members were very supportive and friendly. Also the facilities were clean and comfortable.
A nossa review do Curso de Preparação: A+! A professora foi sempre muito prestável e na certa não teríamos tido uma nota tão boa se não fossem as aulas. Valeu muito a pena.
O melhor dos exames no English Exam Centre é poder fazer todas as partes no mesmo dia.
Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon of learning! This training session was very useful and gave me more insight into each exam.

A execução de algumas partes do exame em computador, como o Reading, Use of English e Listening tornaram-se mais práticas. A experiência no English Exam Centre foi muito positiva e a equipa muito empenhada.
As instalações do English Exam Centre são novas em folha e o staff muito acolhedor e simpático. Com estas condições tudo se torna mais fácil!
