Languages and course content
How you will study
- Classes offer an excellent learning environment, with small groups and a friendly atmosphere.
- Class size varies between 10 and 22 students, facilitating interaction between students and the tutor.
- The target language will be used as often as possible. Many of our tutors are native speakers and all are highly experienced and qualified to deliver high quality language classes.
- If you find yourself on a level that is too easy or too difficult, you are welcome to move to a different level provided there are spaces available. If you are unable to attend the different level, we will provide you with a refund of the course fees.
- It may be necessary to purchase a text book to support your studies. Details of the text book will be provided in the first class.
- There is the option of taking a voluntary assessment at the end of the spring term for all languages. Students who pass the voluntary assessment may receive a certificate of achievement.
