EnglishPRO courses are premium courses for students who are prepared to study harder to achieve their goals. EnglishPRO courses are different from EnglishPLUS courses in some important ways:
* Each EnglishPRO class has a maximum of 12 students (average 10), allowing more individual attention from your teacher.
* EnglishPRO courses have a higher workload. You will be expected to do homework regularly.
* You should join your EnglishPRO class on one of the dates below, and you should enrol for the full course. If you wish to join on any other date, or for a shorter time, the school must approve this before you start the course. If you join for a shorter time, you must still pay the full course fee and resource fee.
* You must pass an English level test to enter an EnglishPRO course or provide evidence of your English ability. You can sit the test at Crown, or you may ask to sit the test at your agent’s office.
EnglishPRO courses are flexible. You may take them alone or as part of a longer course. You can:
* Enrol on an EnglishPRO course as a single, stand-alone course
* Transfer to or from EnglishPRO courses during your general EnglishPLUS course
* Substitute one or more EnglishPRO courses for an EnglishPLUS course
EnglishPRO tuition fees are the same as for the equivalent number of EnglishPLUS Standard or Intensive course weeks*. You can transfer your tuition fees between EnglishPLUS and EnglishPRO with no transfer charge. You pay an additional resource fee for each EnglishPRO course to cover materials and marking.
Cambridge FCE, CAE and CPE classes are guaranteed to run for each start date. Other EnglishPRO courses are subject to demand, and may require minimum class numbers to run.
* TESOL courses have a higher tuition fee
