There are several ways to find out what your level is. Firstly, we would advise you to take our Free online language test. These can be found via the link below.

This test will help you to determine the best type of English course for you. The idea is to work through the questions as far as you can and then submit. Your results will give you an indication of your English proficiency level (beginner/elementary/pre-intermediate/intermediate etc).

After you receive your results, we then recommend students look at the sample course descriptions for each course within that banding – this should help you to select the best option for you, based on your current knowledge and previous studies. The course description outlines the linguistic and communicative aims of the classes as well as the content that will be covered. Another useful tip is to look at the corresponding language level guide that you can also find on the specific language page as this will give you a rough guideline in relation to the suggested hours of previous study and the international standards.

According to our terms & conditions, you need to give us two week’s warning before your course starts to qualify for a refund. Cancellations made with less than two full week’s notice before the start of a course will be subject to a 100% cancellation charge.

We are able to offer private or in-company English courses from beginners to advanced levels, tailored to clients’ specific needs and/or industry specific language. Our team can deliver customised language training.
