About these courses
Intensive courses pack 25-30 hours of tuition into each week. If you have limited time in the UK and want to improve as quickly as possible, this is the format to look at.
A typical day runs from around 9am to 3pm or 4pm, with core language classes in the morning and elective modules (conversation, pronunciation, academic writing, exam skills) in the afternoon. It is a full schedule, but the variety keeps things moving.
These courses suit students on short stays, people preparing for university entry, and professionals who need to improve fast. Available at all levels, from beginner to advanced. You can book as few as 1-2 weeks or stay for several months.
