What "Intensive English courses" are available?

"Intensive English courses are available in various formats and intensity levels, depending on the learning objective, time budget and language level. An English continuing education, further training or intensive language course is designed to achieve the greatest possible progress in the shortest possible time.

Typical offers for intensive English courses are

• Intensive courses (several times a week): e.g. 3-5 lessons per week for rapid learning progress
• Super-intensive courses: daily lessons at a fast pace for maximum progress
• Evening intensive courses: part-time, usually 2-4 evenings per week
• Online intensive courses: live lessons and digital exercises from home
• Language stays with intensive courses: combination of lessons and everyday language abroad
• Small group intensive courses: often 3-6 participants for lots of speaking practice
• Private or individual intensive training: highly individualized, very rapid progress possible

In many programs, the focus is on all language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Learning is particularly intensive in courses with a high number of weekly lessons (e.g. 20-30+ lessons per week) and additional conversation practice.

Conclusion: Intensive English courses are available in evening, online, group or language travel formats and differ mainly in terms of pace and level of support. Find out about suitable intensive courses or request non-binding documents to find the ideal course for your goal.
