Run by Course Director Richard Littler, our face-to-face seminars are warm and informal, with emphasis placed on group work and graduated exercises. We also give students as much personal attention as possible. There is a lot of discussion of English language, words, grammar and punctuation. Everyone enjoys the courses and learns a huge amount in a short time.

 

Richard says: I really enjoy the seminars. I meet such a wide cross-section of people of all ages. No two courses are the same; every group is different. Daisy and I have made some good friends over the years and keep in touch with many of our ex-students, and are delighted when they tell us how well they are doing. Students can be silent for four days or be talkative and involved; it's up to you, and as long as you're learning and enjoying yourself, we are happy.

Question and answer sessions and open discussions are key elements of these courses. Included in the course fees are extensive documentation and practice exercises for students to work through in their own time after the seminar is over. Certificates of Competence are available for all the courses if you do well on a (free) assessment after the course.

 

The Exeter courses are held at the Jurys Inn, close to the heart of the city. (Residential courses are available in Exeter for people who would like us to arrange accommodation for them.)

 

The London courses are held at Imperial College, London University (close to Hyde Park). The venue is easily accessible by tube and bus.

 

All 4-day seminars run from 10.00am to 4.15pm for four days, to help students avoid rush hour travel. All 1-day seminars run from 9.30am to 5.00pm.
