HOW IS THE COURSE STRUCTURED?
Your level of English will be assessed on arrival at college and you will join a small group of students with broadly similar ability. Levels range from pre-intermediate to advanced and you can progress through the levels during the year.
You will be part of a group of students with a maximum of 16 in a class. A typical week would involve 24 hours per week in the classroom but to make the fastest progress a lot of extra practice is needed in the Learning Resource Centres or at home. You will work towards either the General or Academic IELTS qualification and the college will provide one free test each academic year.
Your course will follow a recognised study guide and use lots of authentic materials such as magazines and newspapers, videos and CD ROMS so you quickly learn how native English speaking people use their language.
