How to enrol

Adults enrolling for the first time need an assessment. We are running assessments two weeks before the start of a new term, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The written part of the assessment can be done online.
This is an essential procedure to discuss your needs with us and ensure that you are assigned to the type of course and level which suits you best.

No booking is required and assessments are free of charge.
Children, teenagers and complete beginners do not need to be assessed.
Returning students who sat the end-of-term assessment with their teacher can enrol directly to the next level up.

To avoid disappointment please enrol well in advance
