You will study with people from different countries while learning at a steady pace. You will be level tested on your first day and put in a level appropriate class. You are assessed in the four macro skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing each week of the course. On completion of the English language course, you will receive an academic report of assessment results and a graduation certificate.
