The Examinations Services department at the British Council Sofia would like to invite you to take part in an ILEC Pretesting on 8 November 2009.
Pretests give candidates an excellent opportunity to practise before taking the real exam using genuine questions under exam conditions. The ILEC pretest is designed for candidates at upper-intermediate or advanced level of English. It corresponds to levels B2/C1 of the Common European Framework.
Please note that there is a fee of 20 leva to contribute to our administrative and venue costs. It can be paid by bank transfer to Citibank, 2 Maria Luiza Blvd, Sofia, IBAN BG24 CITI 9250 1051 0009 03.
To register, candidates need to complete this registration form and email it to exams@britishcouncil.bg or fax to 00359 2 942 43 06, together with a copy of the bank transfer document.
Alternatively, candidates can register and pay the fee in person at our Customer Services Centre.
We will contact individuals to confirm the exact time and place of the pretesting session.
The deadline for registration is 30 October. Please note that because we have a limited number of pretesting materials, the registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Employers need to know that the legal staff they appoint have a sufficient level of English to be able to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries, and to handle information written in English. At the same time, law students and newly-qualified lawyers need to be able to show employers and academic legal community that they have these skills. The new Cambridge International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) was created to meet these needs.
- an advanced examination (set at levels B2 and C1 of the Common European Framework) which assesses language skills in a legal context.
- a Cambridge ESOL examination, produced and assessed in collaboration with TransLegal, Europe's leading firm of lawyer-linguists.
- recognised by leading associations of lawyers including the European Company Lawyers Association, the European Law Students Association, the International Association of Young Lawyers, and the European Young Bar Association.
The ILEC is for law students or practicing lawyers who are:
- seeking employment in an international commercial law context,
- intending to study law where the course includes a significant English language content, either in their own country or abroad,
- seeking promotion within their own organisations,
- learning English as part of a training programme
