About Us

How we can help.

"I want to study medicine to become a doctor.  My university expects me to be able to speak English well.  I want to learn English but I also want to learn more about medicine at the same time."

 

This is the course for you!  Learn English WHILE you learn medicine.  Yes, that's right, learn both at the same time.  Why waste your valuable time learning English about dogs and cats and other non-essentials, when all you really want to do is get into medicine to become a doctor.   So if medicine is what interests you then lets talk about medicine.   Then when you do get into medical school one day (naturally this course gives no guarantee of entry into medical school), your English skills and medical knowledge will, hopefully, be improved.

 

We provide you with certificates following each elearning module that you complete, as well as a certificate at the end of the course, after an assessment, to prove satisfactory completion of our course.

 

 

​

Only 10 participants can do this course every 3 months.  The next available course commences on 1st of January 2016.
