Course Structure

• Each course takes 60 hours (30 lessons) to complete.
• The 30 lessons are delivered in 3 x 10-week terms, which follow the pattern of the academic year.
• Our courses are designed to teach students how to communicate effectively in their chosen language.
• All four skills are taught (reading, writing, listening and speaking), with particular emphasis being placed on oral communication.
• Our courses present the language as it is spoken today in everyday situations, covering basic survival skills for beginners through to fluent communication at advanced levels.
• Class sizes allow maximum involvement of all participants and vary between 3 - 15 participants. All our classes are online only.
• Our evening courses are non-credit bearing, but on completion of the three terms of their course, all students with an attendance record of 70% or above are issued with a certificate of attendance.
