Books
The first course book for ELT courses is included in the price for students studying 5 or more weeks. If a student changes level or changes course, they will need to buy a new book relevant to their class. Workbooks are optional and can be purchased separately
Students studying for 4 weeks or less may borrow books for a £5 refundable deposit.
Students studying for 5 or more weeks have their first course book included.
Books cost approximately £25 per workbook and £35 for course books. Books are available at the ETC Library.

Please note
All lessons are 45 minutes long. ETC specifies a maximum class size of 18. However our average class size in off-peak seasons is lower. No classes will exceed 18 students.

Classes may be in the mornings or the afternoons during busy periods.

Students following a Standard General English course (20 lessons per week) may have morning or afternoon lessons. Classes are normally run in the mornings from 8:45am to 12.15pm, but we cannot guarantee this timetable. During the busy summer months, students may have lessons in the afternoons.

Students who require a student visa must complete at least 15 hours of study per week (i.e. 20 lessons per week).
