Academic English
Academic English helps students use English for study at college or university. It covers reading and understanding academic texts, planning and writing assignments, giving presentations, and taking part in seminars. The focus is on clear, accurate, well-organised language that is suitable for academic audiences. It can also link to subject-based work when students need English for a particular discipline.

Specialist English
Specialist English is for learners who already have a general level of English and now need to work in a particular field or do a specific type of task. It supports areas such as medical interaction, technical reporting, legal or policy language, and other professional communication. Lessons focus on the phrases, formats, and interaction styles that are typical in those settings, so learners can perform the task, not just talk about it.

Citizenship English
Citizenship English supports learners who are living, working, or studying in an English-speaking country and need everyday, practical language. It covers understanding official information, completing forms, booking appointments, and talking to services and local authorities. It also includes language for navigating immigration and citizenship processes — for example, asking about visa or residence rules, understanding what documents or evidence are required, and explaining personal circumstances. Lessons highlight common problems people meet, such as unclear letters, missing information, or needing to correct a mistake, and show how to respond politely and clearly.
Business English
Business English helps learners communicate professionally at work. It includes language for emails, meetings, short reports, and presentations, as well as strategies for being polite but clear with colleagues, managers, and clients. The focus is on doing typical work tasks in English — giving updates, asking for information, negotiating next steps, and solving problems together.
