Overview
A Kaplan Intensive English program offers a fast, enjoyable and effective way to improve your English language skills, whatever your current language level. You will have the opportunity to accelerate your progress and personalize your course with Specific Skills lessons.
Intensive English courses offer you the maximum classroom time each week, with extra lessons focusing on specific skills such as Business English, Academic English, Literature or TOEFL ®/IELTS preparation. You can study for as little as one week or as much as a year, and start at any level.
But don’t forget – at Kaplan, exploration and adventure are part of the learning process, so you’ll still have opportunities to practise your skills in the real world and enjoy your destination at the same time.

correct class level and fine-tune your learning experience. We’ll continue to measure your
progress with level tests every 5 weeks.
