YOUR PROGRESS
Our pre-arrival online language
placement test allows you to begin
your French or German course at the
level that’s right for you. Once you’ve
started your course, you’ll complete
a test every Friday to check your
progress. You’ll also fill in a weekly
feedback form which will include
your teacher’s comments about your
work so far and potential areas for
development. When either you or your
teacher feel you’re ready to move up
a level, you’ll talk about it together
and decide on the best way to move
forward with your learning.
