Our course is textbook-based. It focuses entirely on the skills and language you need for the exam, enabling you to make rapid progress.
We give you regular practice tests throughout the course, and towards the end, you will be given a full mock exam and feedback on your score. Exams can be taken locally, shortly before or after the course ends. Demand for exams is high and we advise you to book early. Exams can be booked through the
school - see ‘fees’. We also provide optional tutorials to ensure you are happy with your learning, and we can advise you on your university application. We look forward to helping you on your journey to a higher education course.
