What courses can I take?

We have a wide range of courses for adults. We make improving your English language and communication skills enjoyable. We have many specialist skills courses and we also offer custom-made packages designed to meet the specific training needs of organisations.

Adult Courses

Our practical, hands-on approach helps you use the language from the very first day. We offer General English courses from Beginner level (CEF A0) to Advanced level (CEF C1). We also run Business Communication Skills, IELTS preparation workshops and short Communication Skills courses and workshops.

Our General English classes are held 4 days a week for 2 hours each. Our shorter communication skills and IELTS preparation courses are held 2 days a week for 2 hours each.

Our General English courses develop all four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and give you a thorough understanding of grammar.

Our new International Business Communications courses are designed for business professionals who have completed either Upper-intermediate or Advanced levels of English language training and want to continue to develop their language skills within the business context. Each course is 72 hours long and classes are held two times a week for 2 hours each.

After your placement test, we will advise you on the best course for you.

Beginner level
You will have had little contact with English but want to take the brave step of learning this powerful international language. We will give you a good start by teaching you useful vocabulary and grammar.
Elementary level
You will know some basic grammar and words but cannot yet communicate many of your ideas. You will study a range of everyday English social expressions you can use for making conversation, shopping, on the telephone, at the airport and checking into a hotel.
Pre-Intermediate level
You will already be able to describe simple ideas and things around you. Now, you can widen your vocabulary and develop your grammar. You will discover everyday English, such as social expressions and describing feelings.
Intermediate level
You will now have confidence to express yourself in English but want to make fewer mistakes and possess a wider range of vocabulary. This level will help you to develop your range of everyday English social expressions (informal language) for use when giving opinions, making requests and offers, expressing interest and surprise, and being polite. You will review grammar from previous levels and explore a range of other grammar. You will also develop your understanding of vocabulary by looking at word formation, adjectives, synonyms, idioms, and compound nouns.
Advanced level
You will develop your range of everyday English social expressions for adding emphasis, interrupting, contradicting, persuading and spontaneous speaking. You will study a range of grammar including perfect forms, participle clauses, articles, complex sentences and discourse, conditional sentences, and inversions. You will develop your vocabulary skills by guessing meaning from context, understanding subtleties in language, collocation, and multi-word verbs.
