Will I receive homework?
keyboard_arrow_down
We believe that homework is a very important part of your course and can help you make rapid progress. The exact amount of homework you will get depends on your course but you should expect 1-2 hours per day.
What support is offered outside the classroom?

We have an online learning platform called e-wimbledon which is free for students to use 3-months before, during and 3-months after their studies. All students have access to the study centre also, where they can receive one-to-one advice and help in reaching their language goals.
Will I get a certificate?

When you finish your course, you will get the Wimbledon School of English Certificate stating your course dates and finishing level. We require that students attend 80% of classes in order to receive the certificate. If you are taking one of our examination courses, you will also have the option to take the exam at the end.
Is there a cooling-off period?
