Continuous Enrolment: A1 Beginner – B2 Upper-intermediate

The academy’s admission policy allows for enrolment all year round. You can start on any Monday. As you can join the academy on any Monday you might find the course you have enrolled on has already started. Before starting the course, we will give you the course outline so you can see the whole course.

We will also give you a weekly outline which will tell you what will be taught in the class during the week. The academy’s courses are designed in a unique way that follow coursebooks. Every Monday our teachers’ start a new unit which has a new grammar point and topics. This will make it easier for you to start and fit in to the class.

The materials you might have missed, you might find that you have already studied them before or will study them in the future. If you have enrolled for more than 5 weeks and need extra help to catch up with your class, the academy will offer individual tuition lessons to help you catch up with your peers.
