The Intensive English Language course is the same as the Standard English Language program, but with the advantage of two extra lessons in the afternoon (30 lessons per week). This course gives the student more study time in order to progress, while gaining greater fluency and accuracy in a more timely manner.

We offer short intensive courses created for busy people who want to improve their English language ability as much as they can in a short period of time. To ensure that you benefit from your course in the most efficient way, we establish your needs before your arrival. For this purpose, you will complete a needs analysis, identifying your motivation for learning English. Once we have this information, we are able to customise your course to suit your needs.

Throughout the course, your progress will be monitored and recorded. At the end of your course, you will receive a linguistic profile detailing your strengths, weaknesses, what you have covered, how you have developed and what you now need to do to consolidate your learning and how to improve further after you have returned home.

The job club is a free and quite popular service offered to our students. It consists of helping students to find a paid job whilst studying, in accordance to UK visa regulations. The school will guide you in CV and application letter writing, give you tips for interviews and direct you to the best places to find jobs locally. Jobs are typically in catering, housekeeping and the hospitality industry. There is no minimum number of weeks in order to use that service, however, it is rather recommended for long-term students (8 weeks +) as it might be difficult to find a job for a short study period only. Students cannot book this service in advance. It must be discussed and dealt with directly between the school and the student upon arrival.
