Great teachers, very pleasant atmosphere
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Don't mix students who are only there for a week and students who stay for months. A student who is only there for a week wants to learn with more "pressure" and take in as much as possible.

Questions and answers about Berlitz

  • Students need to be at a C1 level to join the C1 class. On average, after attending a 12 week course at C1, students should be ready for the official exam. If someone has completed a B2 level then they can join the C1 class. If someone is at B2 level then the exam would be FCE for them. We do a level test of each student and find their current level to place them in the right class and guide them for the right exam.
