School: we can either run the English language classes ourselves with our very qualified
staff or, more usually, we place students at a wonderful English school in Hove,
where our students will have the chance to mix with many nationalities and make new
friends and contacts
Host families: we run a large and thriving summer school, and therefore we have the
very best of our host families available to house Leonardo students.
Work placements: we have a varied range of excellent work placements, which allows
students to learn new skills and enables them to improve their English further. We
place according to school subject, desired area of employment and of course the student's
level of English
Most importantly, we think, for students who are very new to the adult work world,
all our employers are very pleasant friendly people. We are very happy to tailor
the Leonardo courses that we offer so that they suit a particular group’s needs or
so that they meet the requirements of applicants coming from that particular country
