ACCOMMODATION
We recommend that you stay with local host
families, as this will provide an excellent
insight into the English way of life and help
you with your English.
However, it is possible to arrange bed and
breakfast or half-board accommodation at a
range of local guest houses and hotels within
walking distance of Colchester English Study Centre.
TESTING AND MATERIALS
For this course, students must take a language
test online before they come, so that they
can be placed in the correct level when they
arrive after a short interview on the Monday
of their course. Students receive all teaching
materials, including a textbook and a file
which is theirs to keep. There is free library
and internet use and all students receive
a leaving certificate showing their level
at the end of their course.
