As you look ahead, you should keep these two things in mind.
The minimum level to graduate as an English teacher in Chile is an EFL-C1, meaning that those above the minimum, and those in "above average" or "bilingual" schools, will probably want an EFL-C2. How do you show you have this level? With a certificate.
Secondly, few school Directors, Academic Directors (UTP) or Human Resources managers know what EFL C1 or C2 really mean or if they do, have time to evaluate. So how they do they know a colleague's or candidate's level? They ask for a certificate.
Open group programme, preparation for the Cambridge English C2 Proficiency (formerly known as "CPE") Examination. We cover knowing and understanding the examination and its components, Practice of & Feedback on each component, and success and preparation strategies. Whether you are registering for the examination, or are considering it and want to know how to succeed, this programme provides what you need to know.
This 30-hour open group programme is comprised of thirty one-hour sessions, online via Meet, and is aimed at those with a C1 level who want to spritz or refresh their English, or perhaps to identify weaknesses and gaps, and at those who are considering Cambridge English C1 Advanced (was CAE) examination preparation in Semester Two, in an open group setting.

You want evidence of your level of English, but which certification is best? Certificates can be very expensive, and you do not want to "invest" unwisely or even to invest without a positive return.
Chatting, conversation, even grunting, are normal and everyday for our students, however they likely require guidance in speaking or more intentional discourse. Although these sessions aimed at High School teachers, Upper Pirmary / Lower Secondary (G5 - 8) teachers will also find them useful.
We are born speaking and if not, the nurse will encourage us to start. However writing is a challenge and there is a reason why there is only one Shakespeare, one Steinbeck, one Orwell. Writing is unnatural and that gives us, teachers, something to get our teeth into.
