The course is aimed at learners who have some knowledge of the Italian language. The objective of the course is to build learners’ confidence by equipping them with relevant – mainly travelling-related – vocabulary.

They will also practise reading and engaging with the vocabulary found in leaflets, menus and timetables.

Language main courses are divided in three terms, totalling 32 weeks of tuition. Each course is clearly labelled (for example – French beginners – Autumn term) and the course description states if this is a first, or follow-on course. You should complete Autumn term before progressing to Spring term and Summer term, but you can enrol on all courses at the same time. Most courses start in September 2024.
Language courses normally include an Initial Assessment activity in the first session and you may be offered the possibility of transferring to another course if your level is higher or lower than the advertised level of the course.
