FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about English courses in Scotland
I would like to take a 10-week course to prepare for the SAT and TOEFL Exam in Scotland. Can you help?
“At the moment, we do not have any partner schools offering SAT and TOEFL preparation courses in Scotland.
The only course option would be 8 weeks of complete immersion with a private teacher in Edinburgh. In this type of package, lessons are one-to-one and students have the opportunity to revise for the academic exam of their choice with the help of the teacher. This option allows for personalised learning and is relatively flexible in terms of starting days and lesson times. For the rest of the time, students stay with their teacher's family on a full-board basis. ”

I would like to certify my level of English. Is it possible to do it in any of your schools in Scotland?
“If you take an English course, at the end of it you will obtain a diploma showing your level of the language, but it is not an official degree. If what you are looking for is to obtain an official degree from the University of Cambridge, IELTS or similar, you must take an official exam.”
