If your intention is to dedicate the coming weeks or months to serious English study, then the Intensive course delivered by EF at their modern campus in central Singapore. The classes require a commitment of roughly 21 hours per week, and reward participants with the fastest improvement that the school has to offer.

Besides the carefully designed curriculum, part of the reason students improve their skills so significantly on this course is due to the large amount of time they spend conversing with their classmates in English - this is also compounded by the days out that the school occasionally organises, which take students to places such as Sentosa, Pulau Ubin and St. John's as well as trips to Universal Studios.

As additional support for reaching your language goals, you will receive 10 Special Interest Lessons, which are customisable depending on your interests.
