Welcome to the CIFE website

We are an organisation of 12 independent colleges which specialise in getting our students into good universities. We do this through:

A student-centred approach. We treat you as an individual and we tailor what we do to what you need.
Flexibility in course structures so that you can take the subjects you want, and change courses if you need to.
Small classes and active teaching. Our teachers know how to make learning interesting and effective.
Examination expertise. We build our excellence in revision courses into all our teaching
Good dialogue and accurate feedback so that you always know where you stand
Close attention to quality through inspection and sharing good ideas
Many years’ experience in helping students make the best of university applications

This website tells you more about CIFE colleges, with pages describing what we do and advice on choosing the right college.

You’ll also find more general information which we hope will help you make good choices.
