English C1

Frequently asked questions

How much does the online English course cost?

At the moment enrolment is only with a training voucher from the Employment Agency — for employed people in Bulgaria the course is free and covers three consecutive levels of 100 teaching hours each. Paid plans are temporarily not on sale. See the Vouchers page.

What certificate do I get for English?

The course follows the Common European Framework (CEFR, A1–C1) and you receive a certificate for each completed level.

How do the live lessons work?

Live with real teachers, in a group of up to 20, in the evening from 18:30 to 21:15 (Sofia time), 3 times a week — the days are set when the group is formed. Every lesson is recorded if you miss it.

Is there 24/7 AI practice?

Yes — a 24/7 AI conversation partner to practise speaking and writing between live lessons.

Which level should I start at?

Beginners start at A1. If you already have a base, take our free placement test and start at the right level.

Can I try English before enrolling?

Yes — take the free placement test, watch the free video lessons on our YouTube channel and practise with the AI conversation partner on the platform.

What CEFR level C1 means

• Listening: I can understand extended speech even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signalled explicitly. I can understand television programmes and films without too much effort.
• Reading: I can understand long and complex factual and literary texts, appreciating distinctions of style. I can understand specialised articles and longer technical instructions, even when they do not relate to my field.
• Spoken Interaction: I can express myself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. I can use language flexibly and effectively for social and professional purposes. I can formulate ideas and opinions with precision and relate my contribution skilfully to those of other speakers.
• Spoken Production: I can present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects integrating sub-themes, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion.
• Writing: I can express myself in clear, wellstructured text, expressing points of view at some length. I can write about complex subjects in a letter, an essay or a report, underlining what I consider to be the salient issues. I can select style appropriate to the reader in mind.
