The process of registration is very straight forward but has a number of key steps which you must follow to make sure you choose the right course. We've tried to speed things up again this year, by having more online course choice information along with group information sessions which replace the need for an individual needs analysis for certain courses.
Please note; you only need to have a 'general' idea of your level. To make it even easier for you there are really only two paths to follow (see bullet points below) and if you need further guidance our step by step video guide (below) on how to register explains this in detail.
-
If you have never studied the language before then follow the 'Register' link (see courses listed below) next to one of the Level 1 courses. This will take you to a step by step guide on how to register for Level 1 (Absolute Beginner) courses.
-
If you have studied the language before then follow the 'Register' link (see courses listed below) next to any of the other courses (i.e. Level 2-Level 5). This will take you to a step by step guide on how to register for courses other than Level 1 and the Needs Analysis process involving a 1-2-1 appointment with a member of the Language Team for that particular language.
