Course Options

Before starting any type of course, we ask you to take a language level test (with a free trial lesson) to help us to assess your general language competency and place you at the right level, on the appropriate course.

Courses for Adults

In-School Courses

Non-Examination Courses:

  • Group Courses (3 to 8 participants)
  • One-to-One and One-to-Two Courses

Our courses run at all levels, from beginners to advanced, focusing on developing your language skills in the 4 main areas: speaking, writing, listening and reading comprehension.

As mentioned above, the fact that all our group courses have from 3 to a maximum of 8 participants makes for generally more individual participation and expression.

Specialised Courses:

We also offer specialised courses, over a 2 to 3-month period, focused on developing and improving specific skills. For example, Telepnoning Skills, Interview Techniques ...

Course Schedules and Times

I to 2 x 90-minute lessons per week, depending on the level of the course you opt for / as per your placement test result, needs and objectives.

The lessons in general run midday, late afternoon and / or evenings.


In-Company

The type of courses we offer and run for many companies vary from company to company, depending on the needs and objectives of the company concerned.

We also offer the possibility of running examination preparation courses (as outlined above).

More often than not, in-company courses run during the working day or midday (e.g. 11:30-13:00 / 12:00-13:30).

Once again, it varies from company to company but, in general, group courses run twice a week: 2 x 90-minute lessons per week. The number of participants is 2 to a maximum of 8.

There tends to be a large demand for one-to-one (one-to-two) courses which are typically more specialised and / or intensive.

Before commencing any type of in-company course, we recommend meeting for a personal presentation and preliminary discussion. This, in turn, is then followed by a needs analysis and language level test of the participants involved.

On a regular basis (over periods agreed with the company concerned), we complete and provide Individual Progress Reports on all courses together, if necessary, with a reassessment of objectives.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
