Questions & Answers

Our online booking portal is under development at the moment so in the meantime please download and complete our Registration Form. You can also request a copy by contacting us.

Do I need to do an assessment test?

Yes - all students need to have an assessment to confirm their level of English. We can then allocate you to a class with students of a similar level or a one-to-one class. We will also have a chat with you to understand your specific needs.

If you are coming from abroad, we will email you an online test to complete before you arrive in the UK. You will also be tested on the first day.

What happens on the first day of school?

You will have an assessment test first. After that you will receive a Welcome Pack and will have an induction on rules, health and safety and a tour around the building. You will also receive other relevant information about the School and staying in Oxford. Then you will be introduced to your teacher and will start your class.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes - all students receive an Attendance Certificate on the condition that they: attend classes, complete homework and assignments, and pass their progress tests. If you are a longer-term student and complete a level you will also get a Level Completion Certificate.
