Languages Courses

In an increasingly cosmopolitan world, learning a second language is an enriching cultural experience much needed on a social level, for holidays and weekends abroad. In a work environment, language skills will enhance your CV and employability. It also stretches the mind and studies have shown that it keeps the brain active – good news for older people. Children are also starting to learn languages at school at a very early age now, so parents should be prepared to help them.
• Courses up to five levels on our accredited programme
• ABC assessments
• Taster courses
• Basic Holiday Language
• A distinction between easier and harder languages with different lengths of courses
• Discover Country and Culture as part of the programme
• Languages for Industry (custom made courses on request)
• ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)


ABC Single and Double Award Certificates
Short, accessible and flexible assessment-based courses. All the ABC courses have been kept short (Part A and Part B) and you have the possibility of joining a course at various times during the year and 'skipping' levels if your level of ability and commitment to work allows it.

Skills: Speaking – Listening – Reading – Writing
All those skills will be assessed on any courses leading to an Accreditation. Either Speaking/ Listening or Reading/Writing will be assessed for each Single Award but all four skills will always be practiced during each session.

Taster Courses - Complete Beginners
French
No previous knowledge required whatsoever. Learn a language in an informal, relaxed atmosphere. Grammar drills are a thing of the past as the emphasis is on speaking and listening to give learners the absolutely essential, basic survival words and phrases needed to get along in a variety of holiday situations (eg. at the restaurant, shopping, travelling by public transport and organising a hotel room). Learners will also gain enough knowledge to give personal information about themselves in order to make new friends in the target language country.
