Standard
or intensive study? A standard course is usually 3 hours
morning-study only, Monday to Friday. (Some schools offer morning
study one week followed by afternoon study the next). Intensive
courses are usually 3 hours in the morning and a further 1.5
hours in the afternoon. You must study for at least 15 hours
per week to be considered a full-time student in order to obtain
a student visa. Schools offer better value courses for those
who study more hours per week.

Can
I take a mid-course break? If you are studying for 12 weeks
or more Roots can organise for you to take a break from your
studies to travel around Britain or Europe or return home for
a short break. Some schools do not allow this and other schools
require at least a month's notice.

Examinations?
Most schools offer the Cambridge examinations, FCE, CAE
or CPE. They are recognised worldwide by employers and schools
and prove your English ability. British Universities often require
a score from an IELTS exam to satisfy their entry requirements
for overseas students. American Universities require scores
from a TOEFL exam but TOEFL courses are rarely run in Cambridge
schools. Exam courses are often combined with General English
courses so, usually, you must enrol on an intensive course of
21 hours study or more.
