Our Teaching Centre in Rose Hill has been open for 4 successful years and over 5000 satisfied Young Learner and Adult students have taken quality English language courses with us. We offer courses at all levels to help you improve your chances of success professionally and personally. Some of them can lead to recognised qualifications. The range of courses for Adult Learners includes; all levels of General English, English for Specific Purposes, intensive and semi-intensive IELTS Examination Preparation courses and tailor made Communication & Business English programmes, delivered in the workplace for our growing number of corporate clients.
For our Saturday Young Learner programme we have over 350 Primary (7-10 years) and Secondary (11-16 years) learners per ten week academic term who study General English and Cambridge Exam preparation courses. See our general information on English for more details.
If you are a new student you will need to take a placement test before enrolling in one of our courses. This involves a written test and a speaking test with one of our teachers. Following the test we will match your language needs and learning requirements to a suitable class. We also offer courses to complement our Cambridge English Exams, please contact us if you are interested.
Please note that the placement testing periods take place during the registration dates.
