GV IIE Hawaii is perfectly located in Honolulu so that Cambridge students can make the most of their time... study hard, then enjoy the beach just steps away. An authorized official Cambridge Preparation Center, we are the only school in Hawaii offering dedicated courses in both the First Certificate in English (FCE) and the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) with the flexibility of choosing between the 20 or 25 lesson course. The 25 lesson course requires an F-1 visa and includes an elective (non-Cambridge) class on Monday. The FCE is an upper-intermediate level exam, and the CAE is an advanced level exam. Both certificates are challenging, highly-respected assessments of English abilities, and the exam scores are good for life. Our rigorous courses will prepare you with the skills and strategies needed for success on exam day. Extra support is also available for Cambridge students in our Cambridge Boost tutorial program.   Cambridge English Language Assessment (The Cambridge ESOL Examinations) are recognized by over 13,000 employers and universities around the world. Additionally, through a unique agreement with University of Hawaii's Kapiolani Community College (KCC), students accepted into IIE Hawaii's FCE or CAE courses may also be conditionally accepted into KCC's college courses upon successful completion. See Hawaii Rainbow Pathways page for more information about IIE's special partner programs with KCC.
