STEP 1: PLACEMENT TEST AND COURSE COUNSELLING

The registration of adult summer courses starts from 18 May 2009. To register for your first British Council course you will take a placement test to assess your current level of English. A course counsellor will then help you select the course most suited to your needs and English level. This takes up to 75 minutes.

If your language competency is stronger than our level 8, we will not be able to place you in a suitable class.

STEP 2: REGISTRATION

You may register for a course immediately after course counselling or at a later date, depending on class availability.

The placement test result will be valid for 6 months from the date of the test.
