Information
Courses
The programme proposed to people aged from 14 years and over, is designed for short-term (from two weeks throughout the year) and long-term English language learning. With its two and three-semester programmes, it is the ideal solution if you intend to study English for a duration longer than six months. The curriculum includes 28 lessons of General English per week, and the classes accommodate a maximum of 12 students. For long-term programmes, the starting dates take place once per month. Thanks to this long-term programme. you will benefit from special reductions for the courses and accommodation. You will have the possibility of adding, depending on your wishes, special courses, like, for example, Business English or English for Tourism, but also exam preparation courses such as the Cambridge exams, IELTS or TOEFL. The St. Giles college has an academic guidance and university placement service. A total immersion of six or nine months in the English language and culture is an extremely enriching linguistic and human experience which will be useful to you for life.
