Your first day


Your Way to School
Your host family will make sure that you know how to find the school on your first morning, and your teachers will be waiting to help you from the moment you arrive. Allow plenty of time to make sure you are not late for the first activity of the day.

Your Entry Test
Your first day at school will begin with a short language test to enable us to establish your level of English. It is important, therefore, that you should be at the school by the time specified in your Confirmation of Enrolment. When you come for your test, please bring your Confirmation of Enrolment and written evidence that your course fees have been paid - either to Anglo-Continental or its Representative.

Late Arrival
It is important that you arrive for the beginning of your course in order to avoid delay in placing you in a class appropriate to your level of English. If you are delayed and unable to be present at the time of the entry test, you should report to Student Services immediately on arrival.

Sightseeing Tour
For all students commencing courses on official entry dates (except those attending Executive or specially arranged programmes) Anglo-Continental organises a sightseeing tour of the area, usually after the entry test. You are advised to go on this tour, which is free of charge, as it will help to familiarise you with your new surroundings. You will be shown the most important landmarks, shops and places of entertainment in the area. The tour takes approximately two hours, and you return to the school in time for lunch, if you wish, in our self-service restaurant.

Students attending programmes at the Anglo-Continental Executive Centre start their study sessions immediately after the test.

Afternoon
After lunch (unless you are following an Executive, Business or Specialised Programme) you will be free until the afternoon, by which time your test will have been evaluated. You may wish to explore the campus, pay a brief visit to the town centre, or perhaps watch a film in one of the school's lecture rooms.

Class Allocation
In the afternoon you will meet your teachers again for notification of the class to which you have been allocated. You will receive your personal file of information about your course, and your timetable will be explained to you. Your questions will be answered, and you will then be completely ready for the beginning of your lessons on the following day. All you have to do is to check the location of your classroom to ensure that you will know where to go.

Your lessons
All adult lessons or study sessions are of 45 minutes duration.  Depending on your choice of course, they normally take place between 0845 and 1630 hours, Monday to Friday.

Whichever course you choose, you will enjoy lively, communicative teaching to extend your knowledge of the language and develop your skills in listening and understanding, speaking, reading and writing. All your tuition will be in English, with the emphasis on easy comprehension and communication.

Educational advisory service
We offer a professional Educational Advisory Service which can help you if you wish to continue your education in a British or American College or University after your course with us.

Certificates and reports
On satisfactory completion of your course you will receive a Certificate of Studies indicating the school and the type and length of course attended.

If you complete a course of 12 weeks or more, you can also ask for a detailed report on your academic achievement.

Examinations
More and more of our students wish to obtain internationally recognised qualifications in English to help them in their academic or professional careers. At Anglo-Continental we have a long record of success in preparing candidates for English Language Examinations, including those set by:

• the British Council/University of Cambridge ESOL
• the University of Cambridge ESOL
• the Educational Testing Service (TOEFL and TOEIC)
