Certificates

All Kaplan Aspect students studying for 5 or more weeks will be monitored regularly and progress will be recorded in an Individual Student File. The Individual Student File will show how each key English skill has developed and pinpoint the areas of language training which can be improved upon.

At the end of the Cambridge ESOL course, students receive a Kaplan Aspect or PLI Certificate of Achievement detailing the level of proficiency in English achieved. The certificate, together with your Individual Student File, documents your language achievements and can be presented to future employers or educational institutions as proof of your English ability.

Your ultimate reward will be the improvement of your Cambridge Exam score when you take the exam and achieve your academic, career or personal goals!
