Students working hard while learning English together.

Studying abroad can be both exciting and intimidating! Choosing the right destination, school and programme for you can be difficult, but don’t worry—our blog is full of content that will help you with various questions before you pick the best course for you! 

 

Many students considering studying abroad ask questions such as these: ‘What if my English Language skills aren't good enough to begin the course?’; ‘What courses should I take before travelling to the UK?’; “Will the school have other students the same level as me?’

 

If you are a beginner, we have some excellent news for you! Our school offers English courses for seven distinct levels, covering content all the way up to proficiency. So, whether you’ve had the opportunity to study English before, or you’re starting from scratch, we have you covered! 

 

For those with a solid foundation in English, a few more options are available. If you are looking for courses such as Business English or Academic English, or even Cambridge Preparation courses, specific levels are required. If you are not sure about your level, our school offers a placement test on your first day. You can also find an online test on our website

 

While going abroad to study might feel a bit intimidating, it is worth mentioning that our school provides a friendly environment, and we give a warm welcome to students from all over the world. We also have a fun social programme, with activities that allow you to learn more about the local culture in the UK, and make friends from many different countries. Remember, you do not need to have English Language skills to study abroad. The goal of the course is to teach you the language, covering all the essential skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Our courses will help you communicate better and our teachers will support your individual objectives!
