Every student is placed by level on arrival using a written and oral placement test — no self-assessment guesswork. With up to 15 students per class, teaching is intensive, personal, and results-driven.

Placement Test C →Du kan med lätthet förstå praktiskt taget allt du hör eller läser. Du kan uttrycka dig spontant, mycket flytande och precist samt därvid utnyttja finare nyanser i mera komplexa situationer.
