    Too Good To Be True - FCE

    The document summarizes claims made by language learning courses that promise excellent results in very short periods of time. However, the advertisements of these companies are not necessarily the best guide and consumers could be left with little more than a large bill if they don't know what to look for in a good course. A complaint was made against one language school chain, WhizLearn Systems, which had to remove its claim that its technique was ten times better than any other method. While the managing director still believes the claim is true, they agreed to change the advert to make it clearer and avoid further complaints.
