What happens after I apply?

A confirmation email with your reference number arrives. As soon as a group at your level has a place, you get access to the course.

Is there a group for my level right now?

How is the course different from conversation practice?

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Course lessons and conversation practice both count towards the TEEI Language certificate. After two completed sessions you receive your first certificate, which you can add to LinkedIn, share in a post or download for your CV.
