It is important to us that you are getting exactly what you want from your English class. This is why we invite you to attend a trial class for free. This will enable you to make an informed decision on joining TII.
​
So that you can be placed in the correct class, we will give you an entry level test on your arrival. This includes a grammar and writing exercise which will take about 2 hours.

During the Entry Level Test, you will be interviewed by one of our teaching staff to ensure that you are placed in the correct level.
