The English Language Course

Junior students

The English course for children includes 20 lessons per week (16.7 hours) in international classes of up to 10, 12 or 15 students (depending on the centre). Each lesson lasts for 50 minutes. On their first day students take a test to ensure they are placed in an appropriate level. There are six levels from beginner to advanced. Students will have a progress test in their English class every two weeks and meet individually with their teacher to review their progress. At the end of the course students will receive a certificate as a record of their English language studies.
