INFORMATION FOR VISA STUDENTS:
Students who need a visa to study in England will need to read the visa information and fill in and return the visa form so that English Language House can consider their application as a visa student. Teachers at English Language House:
All teachers employed by ELH are qualified and experienced EFL professionals.
How we help students to choose a programme of study that is best for them: We ask students to do a placement test. This will tell us the student's current level. After this we will talk to the student about their individual needs and we will recommend the classes that we think are best. The student can then decide how many classes they want to take, how long they want to study for, when they want to start, what days and times they want to study and how much they want to spend.
Students who want to prepare for an exam can do a hurdle test before they join an examination course. The hurdle test will show if students are the correct level to start a preparation course for the exam they want to take.
We also offer students to opportunity to sit a Cambridge English pre-test exam under exam conditions. This is free of charge and is marked by Cambridge English. Pre-test exams are available for FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS etc. A pre-test exam is not "the real exam" and students do not get a certificate, but they are very useful if students want to try the exam before they pay to sit the real thing !
We want all our students to be happy and we work hard to achieve this. Our students' successes are our successes and we are delighted when students achieve their English Language goals and move on to study at an English speaking University or into a better job.

Students who join ELH for the first time need to pay a £39 registration form. Students only pay this fee once. The Registration fee is valid even if the student takes a break and comes back in less than 12 months. Important information:
