Hello Ossi,
I found a plethora of schools that cater to English as a Second
Language students. I compiled a list of 9 that looked promising and
meet your criteria. I also found two other sites that list recommended
schools. Near the end of the answer I included several sites that help
you decide on a "good" school, along with tips for learning English.

?Level 5: Upper Intermediate: The ideal class for students who have a
good grounding in grammar, can speak fairly well and would like to
prepare for first certificate examination. Unlike KET and PET which
are held on two different days, the first certificate is held on three
separate dates. Papers 1,2, and 3 one day, listening on another and
speaking on a third. The teacher devotes three months leading up to
the examination to study and practice for the exam.?
