CLASS SIZE
During the academic year, the maximum class size is 6 students for all taught parts of the course. In summer morning classes only are max. 8 per class.

ASSESSMENT
This course leads to the examination chosen by the individual student, though it is NOT compulsory to take the examination at the end of the course; all participants will also be given a certificate issued by Severnvale Academy which gives a clear statement of English level - both functionally (communication level) and structurally (grammar level). These levels are assessed through continuous assessment and/or formal testing.
