FREE ENGLISH COURSES IN ENGLAND

Almost Free English courses in Torbay, England

Students taking part in this course will be taught free of charge by professionals as well as by apprentice teachers preparing for obtaining a Cambridge CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching to Adults) Diploma. The apprentices are not native speakers of English language-they are teachers from different parts of the world who want to receive a diploma proving their methodical skills.

The course lasts for 2 or 4 weeks and comprises 3 hours of English a day. Every day the students will have 1 class with a professional teacher and 2 classes with apprentices. The apprentices will take turns, but they will always be supervised by a professional teacher from Cambridge University.

How do you become a student at LAL Torbay?

All formalities connected with the course, booking, transport, etc. should be arranged in person or by post with the College of Foreign Languages "LEXIS" or with our Agent. After choosing the type of course, accommodation and other services you sign an agreement and transfer the due amount of money in PLN to our "LEXIS" bank account. The enrolment form, a copy of the agreement and a transfer receipt should be sent or faxed to us early enough so that we could receive these two weeks before the beginning of the course (persons from cities other than Warsaw contact an Agent).

Before departure you will receive from us:

· a confirmation of the enrolment on the course with an appropriate letter for the customs officers in the UK - so that you do not have any problems with crossing the border,
· the plane ticket - if you are travelling from Warsaw (persons travelling from cities in Poland other than Warsaw contact an Agent),
· the confirmation of booking accommodation together with address, phone number and a short characteristic of the host family
