Our Programmes

We offer a range of programmes to suit all requirements, combining the basic language skills with a full range of specialist classes and internationally renowned examinations. These programmes are suitable for anyone who wants to improve their English, no matter what level or ability and cover General English, Business English and Examination practice.

Course Materials

All courses revolve around a central course book and workbook and teachers supplement these using authentic materials such as newspapers, magazines, menus, manuals, brochures and a range of other specialized books. Teachers incorporate the use of electronic interactive whiteboards, electronic tablets, the Internet and audio-visual technology into classes. Course books are provided during class and students are given a workbook to take home.

Monitoring Student Progress

We are committed to ensuring that all students are placed in the right level and continue to make progress throughout their studies.

• Entry test: every student is required to take an online test in advance of arrival and will also be given a speaking test on their first day.
• Weekly assessment: These are short weekly class tests. The results are given to students and recorded in the student’s file.
• Every 6 weeks, each class will take either a mid-level or end level test. After your test, you can talk privately to your teacher about your progress, and how you can improve your study skills. If after 6 weeks you have not had an academic counselling session, please see the Academic Manager.
