How long will I study English before my work placement?
You will get the most from your work experience if you start the placement with a high level of English. When you register with us we will be able to advise you on how many weeks’ English to book. We recommend a minimum of two weeks, even for advanced levels, so that you have enough time to refresh your knowledge, gain confidence and practice speaking before your first day at work.
If you like, we can arrange classes for you at the end of your placement as well, to consolidate the English you have learned at work. We can also arrange for you to take an internationally recognised examination at the end of your course to add even more to your CV.
