Students who have an intermediate knowledge of English can take advantage of one of the programmes that begin from Elementary through to Intermediate level. These middle levels take the students from A2 to B1 on the CEFR. Students working towards an Advanced Level, who may wish to follow a programme that enables them to take an IELTS examination in order to be eligible to take up a place at university, can join our Anglia Advanced programme.
