Questions before you start
Cannot find your answer? Call us, or ask during your level test.
How long does each level take?
It depends on the language, how many hours a week you study and how much you practise between classes. As a rough guide, many adults need two or three terms of group classes per level. After your level test your teacher gives you an honest estimate for your own plan.
Do I get a certificate?
At the end of each course you receive a school certificate with the level you completed. It is not an official exam result. For an official certificate, take an exam preparation course: this term we prepare students for Example Exam B2 and Example Exam C1 (sample exam names).
What happens in the level test?
A short online quiz and a relaxed ten-minute conversation with a teacher. There is nothing to prepare, and it is fine to stop when the questions get too hard.
I already speak a little. Do I have to start at A1?
No. The level test places you where you are, which can be anywhere from A1 to C1. Some people find they are between two levels, and the teacher helps you choose.
What if I miss a class?
Group classes share notes and homework after every class, so you can catch up. Private lessons can be moved if you tell us 24 hours before (example policy).
How old do children need to be?
Kids’ classes are for ages 7 to 12, in small groups by age and level. Parents are welcome to watch the first class.
