Academic Preparatory School at WWSIS „Horyzont” (APS) offers one-year intensive language courses open to the public.
1. Each course lasts 2 semesters, the classes are taught Monday through Thursday, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. All the courses start on October 1st and end on July 15th.
2. There are two languages on offer (Polish or English) and two target proficiency levels: elementary (A2) and advanced (B1). Before enrolling, the student chooses the language and the proficiency level. If the student is not sure which level to choose they may consult our APS coordinator (pzazula@horyzont.eu, phone 696 678 579), who will assess their proficiency level.
3. The students may, after two semesters of instruction, take (at their own request) a final exam (free of charge) which will test their current proficiency level. After passing the exam they receive a certificate specifying their attained proficiency level (A2 or B1).
4. Class attendance is not mandatory and will not be checked. The students are free to adapt their class schedule to their work schedule as they see fit.
5. The tuition fee for the entire course is 4500 Zlotys. Citizens of Schengen area countries may choose to pay in 10 or 12 monthly instalments. Citizens of other countries are supposed to pay up front for the entire course. The deadline for payment is October 25th.
