Who are Intensive English Courses Aimed at?




Which Intensive English Course is Right for You?
Once placed in a level, our aim is to further consolidate a learner’s level or to develop their language ability in order to advance to the next (e.g. a strong B1 student may move to B2 level depending on their individual progress and ability).
There is no set length of time a learner will remain at one level, but it is estimated that an average learner will take ten weeks to move from one to the next. We assess learners based on their individual strengths and weaknesses and recognise that each individual develops at his or her own pace.
How much does an Intensive English Course Cost?
Entrance fees and any transport for optional social programme activities are extra, although many activities are free.
Note: This course is subject to minimum numbers of students in order for us to open it. If we do not have enough students we will offer you one hour private tuition in place of the 5 hour group class.
