Am I ready to study a business course?

At the College we encourage our students to achieve their best, motivating and assisting them in every practical way. An ABE course at any level requires hard work and a mature attitude to study.

To be accepted onto the course at Certificate level you need to have at least an upper-intermediate understanding of English, and an acceptable level of high-school mathematics. Also, your standard of written English will need to be reasonably high in order to sit the examinations, and the College provides supplementary Business English training - as necessary - as an integral part of the programme.

A certificate is a fast-track to a UK university, being the equivalent of A-Levels in the UK!

Formal qualifications are not required at Certificate level, and the College will be happy to assess your language and mathematics skills with a view to advising you on an appropriate course of study.
