To get the most out of your modern foreign language learning, you need to make sure you start off at the right level.
Our courses start at Beginners level, which is suitable for someone who has no previous experience of the language. We then have courses available at all levels through to Advanced which is the equivalent to Postgraduate level.
Don't worry if you're not sure at what level to start. Our tutors will assess your level at the beginning of the course to check that you are in the right group.
