Course Descriptions

The Intensive English Program (IEP) is a full-time program offering eight levels of English language learning from beginner to advanced.  Students write an on-line placement test to determine their level before starting the program. IEP sessions run continuously throughout the year with start dates at the beginning of each month.  Each session takes two months to complete and consists of 208 hours of instruction.

Students are evaluated on one mid-term and one final exam along with 4 out of 5 in-class assignments/evaluations per two-month session.   

At the end of every session, students will receive either a certificate (2-month program) or letter of accomplishment (one-month program) and a grade letter.
