All courses are multinational and English is always the means of communication with the teachers and with other students.

Student services

When you arrive at the Language Academy, a member of Language Academy staff will meet you and check your registration. Next you will be asked to take a placement test composed of a written and listening test. Then you will have an interview with the Director of Studies or a Senior Teacher. During this conversation your understanding of spoken English will be assessed. Level placement is based on the combined results of these two tests. During the first day, Language Academy staff will introduce you to the school, the local amenities and life in Fort Lauderdale.
