Refresher Weekend Courses

Refresher courses are 10 hours long and take place over one weekend, with 5 hours tuition Saturday and the same on Sunday. They are a great way to refresh previous language skills, which you may not have used for a while, or brush up ahead of a trip abroad or one of our other evening & part-time courses.

Refresher courses are available in two levels: Elementary Refresher (to refresh Elementary course content) and Intermediate Refresher (to refresh Intermediate course content). Which level is right for me and what will be covered?

can follow up your Refresher course with one of our other evening &am

Youp; part-time courses: study one evening per week with our 10-week Courses, two evenings per week with our 5-week Fast Track Courses or, if studying on the weekend suits you, on Saturday mornings with our 7-week Saturday Courses.

If you want to progress more quickly, you can cover the same syllabus in just 5 days with our 1-week Intensive Courses.
