LanguageCert C2 Mastery case studies
LanguageCert C2 Mastery · Put your knowledge to work in context.
LanguageCert International ESOL C2 Mastery is the top single-level test in the LanguageCert International ESOL family, a suite of English tests described by the provider as supporting learners in their own country and measuring skills relevant to school, university and professional success, leading to a four-skills certificate. The C2 level is presented as the point at which a candidate can use English confidently in all contexts, so the exam is aimed at near-native users: graduates preparing for postgraduate study, professionals working in English, teachers, translators, and candidates who need documented evidence of the highest CEFR band. Because the Written and Spoken tests can be taken together or independently, you can sit all four skills in one booking or split them to fit your schedule. Delivery is via an Approved Test Centre or online. The LanguageCert C2 Mastery case studies are 5 cases and about 2,806 words.
