Andreas Pribnow is the ‘Deputy Rector Berufsmatura’ at the zB. Zentrum Bildung Wirtschaftsschule | KV Aargau Ost. Read on to hear what he has to say answering three questions.   1. How did you perceive the change to Swiss Exams?

Increase pass rates of your classes with our brand new and exclusive “Swiss Exams Tips” booklet with exam practice and study tips for your students. Explore “Swiss Exams Tips” now and read on. Before the summer break we launched our newly developed “Cambridge B2 First SWISS EXAMS TIPS” booklet. Throughout the month of September, we have special offer with a CHF 5.00 discount on each booklet. If you have not checked out the booklet yet, now is the right time to order it for your class.

Covid-19 has forced us to change the way we interact with our clients and especially with teachers and schools.

With some delay, due to the Covid-19 situation, Swiss Exams will finally start IELTS operations across Switzerland in September. IELTS, the International English Language Testing System is a multi-level English test for migration, university admissions and work. Globally, IELTS is a jointly provided assessment solution by the British Council, Cambridge Assessment English and a third party.

Swiss Exams offers computer- and paper-based Cambridge English exams in various locations in Switzerland. This includes Zurich, Winterthur, Basel, Berne, Lausanne, Lucerne, Chur and St. Gallen. All 2021 dates are now open for registration. For the next year we have added additional dates for computer-based exams as well as for the locations in Berne and Lucerne. Registrations will be available starting from 1st September 2020.

After a challenging end of the last school year due to the ever-present Corona Virus, schools are starting again after the summer break. To provide teachers with some fresh energy for the new school year, we surprised our partner schools with a fruit basket for the school’s office or the teachers’ room. It is also a way of showing our appreciation to our clients for their loyalty and cooperation as a Cambridge English exams preparation centre with Swiss Exams.

At the start of the Corona crisis, Swiss Exams immediately implemented measures to support their schools, teachers and candidates. As the Corona crisis has now become less acute and the government restrictions have been loosened, Swiss Exams is also slowly moving back to “normality”.  

Are you hesitant to enroll your students for a computer-based exam? Do you feel like you have prepared them for a paper-based exam and, therefore, think a computer-based exam does not seem suitable for them? There is no reason to not also consider computer-based exams. Read on to get more insight into the benefits of computer-based exams and understand why this demand is constantly increasing.

Yes. In the last couple of months we have seen that we can work remotely together, that students can be taught online and we can learn from each other with webinars. Linguaskill from Cambridge takes it one step further: Cambridge English Exams at home.
