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

We offer 70 hour courses in General English and 40 hour Business English courses. Classes are held 3 or 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.

Business English is available from Pre-intermediate to Advanced level. If you are in business these courses will greatly improve your ability to communicate in business situations. If you are a student of business, the courses will develop the communication skills you need to succeed in business and will enlarge your knowledge of the business world.

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

Our practical, hands-on approach helps you use the language from the very first day. We offer courses from Beginner level (CEF A0) to Advanced level (CEF C1). We also run IELTS preparation workshops and short 20 hour Communication Skills courses.

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.
