GROUP COURSES
There are two terms of long courses, one starts in September and ends in January and the other one begins in February and finishes in May . However, our short courses for beginners and our one to one classes take place throughout the year.
We use a course book in our long term courses that can be bought in our school. *Please, note that the price of the book is not included in the course fee.
*All the courses must be paid at least one week in advance of the starting date. *A minimum of 4 students is required to run courses. *Full payment will be refunded in the case of a course not going ahead.
If you are unsure of your level, please scroll down and you will find a level test on this page.
