Course Dates

Students can choose to study for 28 or 35 weeks. Each student's level of English will be tested before a place is offered on the course. Those students with a specific IELTS score will be given the choice of starting the course in late October or early November and follow a 28 week course. Those students who need to improve their IELTS score will need to start the course in early September and follow a 35 week course; the first 6 weeks will be intensive English preparation.

Students may register for the course if they have the correct standard of school qualification and if they turn 18 in the first term of the course (ie. before the end of December). Students who are still age 17 when they start the course will be required to live with a host family until they turn 18.
