My brilliant success at a "Job Interview"!
I arrived in the UK in 2020. Knowing that my English needed improving to help me settle and find a job here, I joined the Cambridge SPEAK programme offered by the Cambridge English Language Society (C-ELS).
Since starting to attend, my confidence in speaking English has grown significantly, and so has my confidence in applying for jobs and attending interviews.
For me, the “Interview Practice,” which is covered in depth in the course, was enriching and crucial, thanks to activities like role-plays and discussions. I learnt how to present oneself, what to say/not to say, the importance of assertiveness, and how to ask questions at the end.
I applied for a job as an Employment Coach with a charity, and to my delight... I was successful!
My heartfelt thanks to C-ELS, for helping me to achieve this precious goal of mine!

December 2025 Celebration for CELS Participants in Cambridge UK: Award Evening, Christmas & End of Year
01/12/2025
" ...with whom I've shared so many enriching moments...people who have deeply touched my life."
When I first came to Cambridge, like many others, I went through some difficult days; but since joining the "Cambridge SPEAK" programme at the Cambridge English Language Society, my heart has always been filled with joy. The teachers and facilitators are excellent and have inspired me to study and to improve more and more. My classmates, with whom I've shared so many enriching moments, are fantastic. For the rest of my life, I will always remember these incredible days at CELS, where in addition to learning English I came into contact with people who have deeply touched my life.
Thank you CELS
