Courses

The Institute welcomes international students and many different nationalities from outside the UK are represented amongst our students. The Institute is ideally placed in East Finchley, a safe residential area close to Hampstead and Highgate, but only twenty minutes from central London by underground.

We offer a wide range of courses to help you with your English as well as pathways to further and higher education in the fields of Business, Art & Design and Fashion & Textiles. You may study:

We also develop bespoke programmes for groups of international students in the areas of academic English, English for Retail and Administration (including work experience placements) and Teacher Training.

Please note: We do not have full-time (15 hours per week) courses for individual students at Beginner or Elementary level, although we welcome groups at any level.
