Improve your language.
Improve your communication.

We want to help people access their full potential by giving them the language skills to enable confident and fluent communication. Our courses provide a clear path to improve language skills, leading to a Cambridge ESOL Qualification. Over 13,000 companies and organisations around the world recognise Cambridge ESOL Qualifications as evidence that the holder meets their required standards in English. 

Our courses are structured based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which plays a central role in language and education policy worldwide. The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of A1 for beginners to C2 for those who have truly mastered a language. This makes it easy for businesses and organisations to compare the different levels of qualification.

We offer six practical, individually structured English language courses to prepare students for Cambridge English Qualifications. Our courses range from B2 to C2, focusing on general and business English
