There are no exams in our courses. You will receive a certificate if you attend 70% of the sessions.

Do you need or want to take an exam? We offer official exams for Spanish (DELE, SIELE), French (DELF, DALF, TCF), Italian (CILS), English (Trinity) and BSL (Signature). These all require an additional payment. We also offer exam preparation classes. Find out more about certificates and exams.
Can you tell me more about what I will learn?

We follow the standard set of practical uses suggested in the CEFR.

All tutors focus on practice and using the language to communicate. Your tutor will teach and speak mainly in the target language. They may use examples, images, videos and actions to help you understand what they are saying.

Practicing speaking with other learners in class is the most efficient way to learn and improve.

Grammar rules do not help you use the language, and using the language is what we concentrate on in class. The aim is that you learn language you can actually go out and use – not just rules.
