Having worked with school groups and provided language summer camps for under 18s over the past 10 years, Cactus is proud to present our G.C.S.E. Preparation courses in Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona exclusive to UK students in Year 10 or 11 who want to improve their skills in Spanish language in preparation for the G.C.S.E. examination.
 This particular programme has been specially developed with the help of leading independent schools in the UK, and is specially tailored to the syllabus and examination content in accordance with AQA, OCR, and EdExcel examination boards. All the students will be encouraged to participate in class in order to develop their communicative skills as well as do practice exercises directly related to the exam. Two levels of teaching are offered depending on whether the student is taking the Higher tier or Foundation tier. This course is available to individual students or for groups travelling together, to whom we can offer substantial discounts and/or free accommodation for accompanying teachers.
Please contact Alex Wolfson on 0845 130 4775 or by mail for more details.

Diploma in Languages - Cactus is proud to be a member of the
steering group for this qualification.
The Diploma in Languages is an exciting new qualification for students aged 14 to
19, which is due to be launched in schools from 2011. Blending theory and practice,
it will show how languages can be applied at work and at leisure - bringing
language learning to life. The innovative programme also proposes to teach young
people intercultural skills and introduce them to translating and interpreting.
It will help them learn about the way language works as well as how we learn
languages so they can become independent, lifelong language learners.
