This course is ideal if ...

...you want more teacher contact time and an individually-focused lesson format for rapid progress.

This exclusive, seminar style language course will appeal to people who want to make maximum progress in a limited time, and prefer a more individually focused learning atmosphere. In classes of no more than eight participants, there is optimum opportunity for group interaction and personalised guidance.

Study in a class of eight

The main benefit of this course is in the name. With a maximum of just eight students per class you are guaranteed personal attention from your teacher.

A learning plan to suit your needs

The length of your course is fully flexible, so if time is limited your programme can be as short as two weeks, or as long as your schedule allows. If your priority is to learn as much English as you can as quickly as possible, you can opt for a full time Intensive course. Learners who want to allocate time to explore or to enjoy a vacation might prefer the flexibility of the Standard course. Whichever learning plan you choose, you'll be with like-minded people in a group that's stimulating and engaging.

Modern, interactive training methods

Our study methods are highly interactive, with extensive use of role-playing, case studies, discussion groups and cross-cultural analysis. Our tutors use contemporary, real-life materials from a variety of media, including TV broadcasts and the internet. You will develop a full range of language skills within a social or business context.

Business or General English options

On the Intensive Course, you can choose to customise your learning plan, and choose content best suited to your needs. The Business English option is designed for busy professionals who need to sharpen their English language skills in a work context, and will cover essential professional skills such as negotiation, making presentations and the language of business meetings. If you opt for the General English version, there will be more time to focus on the areas where you feel you need more guidance, whether it be conversation, expanding your vocabulary or getting to grips with English grammar.
