Clear answers to the questions students, parents and agents ask us most. If your question isn't here, message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page.
We teach General English, Intensive English, IELTS Preparation, Business English, Online Classes, One-to-One Classes and ESOL at our school in Leeds city centre, plus Summer Courses and five-day Executive Short Programmes for organisations. All our accredited courses are listed on the Courses page.
Most students book between 4 and 12 weeks, but courses are flexible: you can study from one week to 24 weeks or more, and longer bookings cost less per week. Every course starts on a Monday.
General English, Intensive English, Online and One-to-One classes accept complete beginners to advanced learners (A1–C1). IELTS Preparation suits intermediate level and above, and Business English suits pre-intermediate and above. Not sure of your level? Take our free placement test before you start.
Our minimum age is 16. Students aged 16–19 can join our ESOL programme, where teaching is tailored to younger learners.
A maximum of 10, so your teacher knows your name, your goals and your mistakes by the end of the first week.

It depends on your nationality and how long you'll study. Many students take short courses on a Standard Visitor visa; courses over six months usually need a student visa. Check the official guidance on gov.uk, and once you enrol our team will provide the documents you need for your application. Applying for the correct visa is the student's responsibility.
That depends on your visa type, not on the college. Check your visa conditions on gov.uk or ask our team and we'll point you to the right official guidance.
