    This qualitative study aims to investigate, through the lens of student experiences, the factors of attainment or not attainment faced by ninth-semester students at a private university in Bogotá to achieve the C1 level of English proficiency, a requirement for graduating with a bachelor's degree (ELT). Through semi-structured interviews, conducted with a population of 10 participants, key factors influencing the development of C1 level proficiency were identified: autonomy, effective learning strategies, quality of teaching, the language studied, emotional factors, social relationships, and self-perception. Furthermore, the importance of the teaching role and its direct impact on the acquisition process was highlighted, as well as the creation of immersive environments in the English language, since it was identified as a fundamental pillar for obtaining the C1 level. The findings inform evidence-based solutions gathered from students' experiences to improve language teaching, learning, and ultimately, C1 level attainment. Finally, the implications of this study are far-reaching, influencing English language education theory and practice. They not only enrich our understanding but also pave the way for future research such as curriculum design, teacher training, among others, ensuring academic and professional success in a globalized environment among students
