Course details
In 24 lessons, our course helps you prepare for all parts of the CILS A2 exam, with a well-rounded and targeted practice in reading, grammar, listening, writing, and speaking.
The first lessons introduce the course, the exam (structure, format, and costs), and the online learning environment.
Lessons are organized into thematic units, including transport, free time, health services, employment, education, and citizenship. Each unit combines reading, grammar, vocabulary, cultural content, pair work, conversation, and listening activities.
Exam sessions will also be simulated using past exam papers, helping you become familiar with the exam format, manage your time, and estimate your expected score.
