Why is it important to look for a school that has been certified by the British Council?

To be accredited by the British Council means the school follows a curriculum of known quality standards. Being acknowledged by the British Council is prestigious because its standards are incredibly high. The accreditation system provides the students an extra warranty for a quality choice and gives the language schools a series of benefits and better chances to advertise themselves. The British Council accredited schools (almost all of them) feature the accreditation logo on top left

 

Visas for English studying students

If you are not an Italian  citizen, please visit the UKBA website (Student Visitor Visa & Extended Student Visitor Visa). It is possible to watch a video guide on the website from YouTube, that is available in many languages, about visas.

 

  When do the courses start? The courses start every Monday, all year round.

 

 How many students per course? Maximum of 14 students for any course and all classes are international.

 

  What is the entry test? It is a test that certifies your level of knowledge and allows you to be assigned to a corresponding class. After having taken the test you could start your course immediately.

 

 What are the schedules? Usually the schools are open from 8:30 through 19:30, and are closed on weekends.

 

 Are books included? No. You can purchase them once you are in London. 

 

 How long are the lessons?  Lessons are 50 minutes each.

 

 Are there age limits to attend the Callan courses? No. Students less than 16 years must be accompanied by an adult guardian.

 

Can we get individual lessons? Yes.

 

 Can I reduce the weeks that I have booked? No. Booking all weeks together allows some discounts, thus you are going to pay less per week when you pay for more weeks altogether. That is why it is not possible to reduce them later on.

 Where can I see the prices? You can look at the prices right on the schools’ websites (we will show you their websites). You will get a discount on their list price when you book with us online.

 OK, how can I book? You must first complete the pre-registration form that you can find at this link:  Ask for a quote  

Book your programme and then, having filled in the form with your personal information and having sent it, print the page that pops up and follow the written instructions.

 

What is the minimum age to attend the courses? The school won’t accept students younger than 11 years old. Children under16 years of age have to be accompanied by someone that has the age of majority for the whole length of the course.

 
Cost of living
 A minimum budget of £ 800 per month is necessary to study and live in London’s Zone 2 and £ 600 per month for London’s Zone 3 onwards, as recommended by the British Government. This is in addition to the cost of your courses. Your budget will depend on the type of accommodation you will select and on your social behaviour.

Travels
London has five large airports plus the Eurostar. Once in London you will soon learn to use the famous subway, or 'tube', thanks to the easy maps that are everywhere. There is also a fast train network that goes all over the city and surrounding areas, to the city’s many railway stations, and thousands of two-story red buses. It is recommended to purchase the "Oyster Card", which is a public services subscription that is valid on all these means of transportation. It can be recharged with any amount, thereby avoiding the subway queue (the Oyster Card has to be "dragged" on the reader coming in/going out from the subway station and the small "gate" will open automatically).

 

Why study English in London?

As everyone knows, a language is learned more easily and much quicker in the country where it is spoken, not in your own country. You can work hard at home, but studying in Italy won’t be as effective as studying and living in London or in other areas of England. Remember that studying English won’t be a duty, it will be a pleasure that will offer you huge benefits. English will give you access to plenty of knowledge, experiences, places, people and stories that will enrich you. Studying English is, in our opinion, a pleasurable and engaging life experience, to be remembered with nostalgia. "Good times" after all!
