This course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language.

The students also study exam techniques and exam preparation on a course specifically designed to suit their individual needs. Students wishing to attend university or colleges of higher education in English speaking countries would be expected to have an IELTS qualification before being accepted on a course. For this reason this course will prove invaluable to their preparation for taking the exam. In some instances, it is necessary to book an extra week of accommodation due to the exam date.
