Hours:
Most Colleges offer several different quantities of hours during the week We do not.! We offer 4 x  classroom lessons from Monday to Friday (except national holidays) and compliment this with sports, excursions and group activities in the afternoon and weekends. What's the point of staying with a family if you never see them or of being in a country if you never see it and get a chance to practice what  you have learnt. We believe our course to be so well- balanced for optimal learning that more or less lessons would not be correct An afternoon walking through the town centre in a place like Stratford upon Avon brings the participant the much needed practice time without exhausting them as another 4 hours in the classroom would. This leaves them fresh for the next day's 4 hours of classroom learning. Our aim is to send the participant home with an interest in the country, people and language and a motivation to go on with a newfound self-motivation to continue learning the language. This would certainly not be the case were the participant to be subjected to even more stress here with us than they already have at home. 

 

   University Foundation Course.
CAMBRIDGE Examinations and  IELTS Exam preparation.
Many international students struggle at degree level because of poor English and lack of study skills. Our English for University Purposes (EAP) foundation programme is designed to prepare you for life and study for a degree at a British university. We focus on the language skills you will need to be a successful student at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and the cultural awareness which will help you to adapt to life in Britain.. 

Minimum age: 16 years at arrival
 Group size: Average 15 students
Entry levels: There are four levels of entry. The length of your foundation course depends on your level of English when you join. Each course has two starting dates in each year. Students will be assessed on the first day of tuition to confirm their level.

The difference we do make however is an age difference as there is nothing more frustrating than someone half your age answering all the teacher's questions that split -second faster. Most of us need a couple of seconds longer in later years. For this reason people of all ages can visit us at any time but will be put in separate teaching and activity groups upon arrival. Age will also be taken into consideration in the choice of the host family. When booking please therefore choose:- Course K for participants between 11 and 14 ( Specially qualified group leaders are used here). Course J for participants between 15 and 17, Course H for participants between 18 and 35, Course E for participants between 36 and 60 and Course S for participants over 60. If you don't mind being with people of other ages please mark the relevant boxes or don't mark any box. IELTS for any age, TEFL for over 18 

We guarantee that if you start your course at the right level,  you will have the confidence and ability to succeed at degree level by the time you graduate from our foundation programme.

Each 9 term can act either as a freestanding certificated course or as part of a progression towards university entry. Successful completion of the 2-, 3-, and 4-term courses will be awarded by the Cambridge College Diploma.
