Learn the language you need to cope with practical situations for travel, work, professional, cultural, social or leisure purposes.

Read the Course Information Sheet, for full details of what you will learn.

Our highly qualified native speakers will help you reach your aims, whether exam successes or goals you set yourself for your own learning.

We want you to be able to access courses all through the year. New courses, including absolute beginners, start each term. After the start of a course, you may be able to try out a class before joining: please ask centre staff or the programme manager.

Interviews: If you wish to discuss your level prior to the start of the course please contact the programme manager to arrange an appointment.

Saturday intensive and fast track courses
Make fast progress. You’ll need to do a little extra work outside class time to feel the benefit. Ideal for the more committed language learner and for those with some experience of learning a language. For all Saturday courses please book your place at least five days in advance - if numbers are too low, courses will not start.

It may be possible to pay course fees by regular installments throughout your course, instead of paying the full amount at the start. Please ask about installment plans when you enrol.

Further education/qualification classes
Courses with a blue band are accredited and are aimed at those who would like to work towards a nationally recognised qualification.

Courses leading to a qualification will require an interview before you can enrol.

Concessions
If you are entitled to a concessionary fee and join any accredited course, you will receive a £20 discount for every additional accredited course you join.

To help pay for course fees and materials, it may be possible to apply for the Learner Support Fund.
