PLUS families have hosted students for many years. They are made up of friendly, caring, kind, courteous individuals who are well aware of the apprehension you may have when coming to a new house. They will try their best to make you feel like a member of the family. Breakfast and dinner are taken with the family who will also provide students with a packed lunch (this may be also purchased at the school).

Families generally live no more than 45-60 minutes away from the centre.

Family stay is mostly advisable for students who are more independent with at least an intermediate level of English.

Families are selected either directly by PLUS Host Family Organizers or in most cases by a reputable British Council accredited agency in the UK.

If you are looking for a more independent lifestyle and enjoy a fun atmosphere shared with old and new friends from different countries, living on campus is the ideal choice for you.

You will experience real college life in a supported and secure environment and you will be able to take advantage of all the facilities the campus has to offer.

These amenities are generally all close to each other: classrooms, first class sports facilities, the cafeteria and other social and recreational facilities.

The courses have been designed to enhance students’ verbal and written communication skills in the language. Our EFL qualified teachers focus on lively learning and encourage group interaction to stimulate the constant use of vocabulary both within and outside the class. To encourage effective interaction between the students and teachers, the classes are small with a maximum class size of 15. The courses are planned around 20 lessons per week (45 minute each i.e. 15 hours per week) at up to five different levels from Elementary to Advanced. Students are placed on a level depending on the result of the student placement test taken on the first day of lessons. Since students are accepted and taught in closed groups, it is very important that group enrolments are done with students of same or similar levels of English language proficiency. The course books and learning supplementary materials are provided free of charge and at the end of your stay, you will be awarded a PLUS End of Course Certificate.
