Our English Preparatory School with Polish is addressed to people who need to improve their English language skills to enter a university program taught in English and wish to learn Polish for day-to-day communication purposes.
Assessment and Group Placement
The course starts with a written and oral assessment test. The test helps us put you in the right group for your level of English. Learning at the right level helps you improve quickly and speak with more confidence.
Based on your test results, you will join one of these groups:
- A1–A2 Level: For beginners with no English skills or very basic skills.
- B1–C1 Level: For persons with intermediate command of English (at least A2 level). This program helps you reach an advanced level (B2 or higher). It prepares you for entry to university programs taught in English.
