Flexible Timetable

Our part-time General English classes in Edinburgh have a very flexible booking system. They’re the best option for learning English if you are living and working here. 
  • Choose the number of classes you want to take each week, from 1 to 5.
    • That means studying between 1h40 and 8h20 per week.
  • Use our online booking system to book classes at the times and days suitable for you.
    • Our system is great for everyone as you can change your class up to 3 hours before it starts.
  • You take the same number of classes every week, but can change the days and times that you attend.
    • Ideal if your shifts are always changing and so your days off are on different days of the week.
  • You can pause your course. For example, if you go on holiday.
    • Just tell us at least one week before and you won’t lose any classes.
  • Every class has specific goals to improve your English.
