Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. In summer, junior programs and busy classes mean accommodation fills up early, while autumn and winter are quieter and offers are more frequent.
