Course description

The Embassy Travel & Culture Programme is an affordable part-time study option that offers great value. It’s an excellent choice for anyone wanting to combine a vacation in the USA with some part-time study.

Join the school's core Certificate of English classes for just 16 x50 minute classes a week, Monday to Thursday. With an optional Friday class, the rest of the time is your own. So, whether you prefer to go shopping, see all the local sights, or even take off for long weekends, you can do it all. Think of it as a holiday where you still key into all the benefits that Embassy gives you: improved English, and good friends.

For many, the big benefit of this course is that you can enter the USA on a tourist visa or (if your country is eligible) the visa waiver programme. There is no need to go through the sometimes arduous student visa application.

Course topics

Listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar
