Intensive Courses

Available options:

* General English for Executives.
* Business English.
* Tourism and Hotel Management English.
* Medical English.
* Military English.

By special arrangement, clients may take an alternative course intensity: 20, 30 or 40 lessons per week. Please check with the Director of Studies that these options are available at the time of booking.

1:1 Courses

Each 1:1 lesson costs £50. Each lesson is 45 minutes long. Clients can choose any number of 1:1 lessons, as long as they satisfy the terms of their visa (ie. Visa nationals must complete at least 15 hours of daytime study per week). Clients can also choose to combine a standard (20 lessons per week) or intensive course (30 lessons per week) with a certain number of 1:1 lessons. This option allows for greater flexibility and greater focus on the client's target language areas.

One-to-one courses may be the best way for clients with limited time to study, especially if they require training in a highly-specialised field: lessons can focus on any language skills or functional areas that the client might wish to improve. Such courses can be programmed to suit the individual client, enabling him or her to attend classes according to a personalised timetable. Our team of English language and specialist trainers works to provide each client with personal attention and intensive training in their chosen field. ETC International College has a long history of providing specialist training programmes to individuals and groups from the corporate and public sectors.

Management courses

Specific courses in the areas listed below can be programmed for individuals or small, closed groups of trainees:
* Image
* Leading and Managing
* Sales and Marketing
* Understanding Finance
* Business Communication
* Human Resource Management
* Information Technology

Please refer to our brochure for a complete list of the options available. These are not language courses. They each take the form of a focused presentation and interactive workshop, where course participants will have the opportunity to discuss and try out new ideas and management techniques. Each course is designed to take place over one full day.

One-day training programmes that address a particular management theme are an excellent way of consolidating learning into a short timeframe, while at the same time allowing participants to come away with a set of tools and techniques that can be readily applied immediately in the workplace.

Please ask us for a quotation for these one-day courses.

Computer Courses

Computer courses are available on a 1:1 basis in the afternoons, to cover a range of IT applications, including:
Excel 2007
Access 2007
Outlook 2007
Word 2007
Powerpoint 2007
Windows Vista Home Premium

Each lesson is 45 minutes long and costs £50 . Clients may take any number of 1:1 lessons, but we recommend a minimum of 10 lessons for a good introduction to each of the applications shown. These lessons are offered in the afternoons so that they can be combined with morning English language classes. Clients who require a client visa must complete at least 15 hours of study per week (ie. 20 lessons per week).

English Plus Courses
Clients may wish to combine a standard 20 lesson (15 hours) Executive course with a leisure activity. We can arrange training sessions in the following areas:
* Tennis. * Horse riding. * Dance. * Golf. * Photography. * Aromatherapy.

Please note that these courses include 5 sessions per week of the specialist leisure activity. Each session will normally last for at least 45 minutes.

The fees shown below include the English language and the leisure activity components, but do not include accommodation, transportation to venues, insurance or other fees, unless indicated. We advise clients to take out their own insurance to cover them against injury – particularly when taking part in more active leisure pursuits, such as horse riding.

Sessions will sometimes be delivered via one session each day, Monday to Friday, but there may be times when sessions will be delivered in longer sessions but over fewer days per week (for example, no session on Monday, two sessions on Tuesday, one session on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). Clients may commence these courses on any Monday of the year (as long as it is not a bank holiday). Please contact us at least 4 weeks in advance to confirm your arrival date. See above for General English and Business English course start dates.

Please note that clients cannot take the leisure component without taking an English language course.

Our current range of English Plus courses includes the following:

If you do not find the leisure activity that you would like to follow on this list, please contact us because it may be possible for us to arrange it for you. These bookings should normally be made in advance of your arrival at ETC.

Excursions
You will find that ETC often arranges half-day and full-day trips (usually at weekends) to places of cultural interest. Visits to London , Windsor , Salisbury and Stonehenge, Bath and the Isle of Wight are very popular with our clients. The ETC social programme helps you to get to know clients and members of staff, gives you the chance to practise and consolidate your English and opens the door to British culture and entertainment.
