Course Structure
You can choose to take either an intensive programme with 28 lessons per week to help you maximise your progress, or 20 lessons (22 in the US) per week in the mornings or afternoons if you would like to have more free time during your stay.
The course is available for students with A1 (Elementary) level and above. Beginner students can take our General English for Beginners programme before transferring onto an ISC at Elementary level.

The core programme will be General English classes, but you can also choose to take an examination preparation or an English Plus module such as English for Business or English for Academic Purposes during your stay.
(Please note that different centres offer different modules, and some of them have entry level requirements and set start dates.)
