I learn better

What do I need learn?

How much time do I have?

What personal experiences do I bring with me?

Do I speak other languages? If yes, what helped me learn to speak?

Which language skills am I good at? Which ones do I need to practise more?

Our teachers and Academic Directors can help you choose the language course most suitable for your needs, as well as to help you decide the learning mode (group or one-to-one teaching, blended learning or online learning)

We’ve got you covered!

Our Centre gives you the opportunity to benefit both from improving your level of English and certifying your knowledge.

By attending our adult classes, from Beginner level A1 to Proficiency C2, you can take either the Cambridge Assessment English, the Michigan Language Assessment or the English Speaking Board (ESB) exams to certify your level.

All three Examination Bodies provide English Language Certifications that are both recognised overseas ( subject to conditions), and they also appear in the list of English Language Proficiency Certifications of the Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection (ASEP).
