Programme Introduction
The Anglia Preparatory English Course (APEC) program is a general language course for all learners
of English. A unique feature of this program is the option for a student to take up an intensive module
to supplement their current learning. The evaluation process has been specially developed and
tailored accordingly to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), an internationally-
recognised system of measuring proficiency in languages, by means of AESL (Anglia Examination
Syndicate Limited). Anglia Examinations has been based in Chichester, England since 1994.
