Can A1 or A2 students start at the A1/A2 sections of the course?

Yes.

To do this, students should first sit either the auto-marked Short English Skills Test or the tutor-marked Full English Skills Test.

  • On completion of the Short English Skills Test, the student will be directed to the correct starting point, with no external interaction needed.
  • On completion of the Full English Skills Test, a tutor will mark the test and set an overall level for the student. This level is used to allow the student to skip ahead to the appropriate section of the course.

For more information, refer to the articles on the English Skills Test.
