Small classes (max 5) mean that all students get time spent with them individually to help them understand and gain true learning. In a small class the students also learn from each other in a collaborative learning environment.

  • We assess learners’ English ability and needs, to recommend an appropriate text for study.

  • Learners are required to purchase their own copy for personal study and review; most common texts are able to be sourced by eccom on behalf of learners, if required.

  • We have developed a study method to create independent learners and provide one to two hours of self-study for every one hour of face to face class time.
