ABOUT US
We are here to provide the opportunity for the people of Wolverhampton to learn a foreign language and to learn about other cultures. We are a non-profit making venture and are not in receipt of government funding. You may consider registering for the DELE qualifications, awarded by the Instituto Cervantes, but there is no requirement for students to sit external examinations. However, all learners are provided with ample opportunity for regular assessment and timely feedback as part of the course. Teaching and learning materials are supplied to the learner free of charge on a weekly basis.
