All our language classes are centered around our students and have been designed to develop practical language skills. Each course will run from September to May. Each week you will attend a two-hour class to help progress and consolidate your learning around the four core skills of listening.
So whether you just need the basics to meet and greet and do the social niceties, or your aim is to converse fluently and be able to conduct your meetings in the target language, we are here to help.
Our Foundation courses are only 15 weeks long during term times and are free from the pressures of exam testing - whilst still giving you option to add on exams at the end of your course, (if you want to). We currently offer foundation courses in Level 1 and 2 - which plans to expand even further.
