Course: FCE preparation courseI took a FCE preparation course in GISOEL and I must say that it was really a good experience, the school is different to other English schools that I’ve tried which can be sometimes boring. The course was focused in FCE so we worked with old exam papers and this kind of stuff but at the same time the methodology used in the school (based in PBL method) makes the classes interesting and allows you to improve your english skills by yourself which is, in my opinion, the best way for learning a foreign language.
