Tailored Programmes
We know that everyone learns in different ways, and each learner has different needs and requirements. This is the reason for the huge success of our tailor made programmes where you can build your own experience.
This programme combines English classes with technical visits to local companies. This provides students with the vocabulary they need to work in their sector, along with the experience of seeing people at work in their field. This proves a very valuable start to the experience in Derry, as many of the students taking part in these programmes will go on to complete a work placement before they leave.
Having worked on the language and had an insight into how the sector works, students will be extremely well prepared for all aspects of their work placement, and will go home with a valuable experience working abroad to add to their CV.
We provide short duration English courses designed to meet the language needs of specific groups of students. We are very happy to develop tailored English language programmes incorporating any topics or areas of language that you would like to focus on. The tailor made option is a fantastic way for a group to study English that is of particular interest and importance to them.
