These trainings have also been successfully completed on an accelerated basis over 10 weeks. Our 25 hour trainings include 10 hours of private lessons, and trainees usually complete these trainings over 10 weeks, with 1 hour of live coaching and 1-2 hours of homework per week.

The training costs are included in the programme documents that can be downloaded above. If you have any questions on the cost of our trainings, don't hesitate to give Liz a call on +33 06 33 65 02 85 or email us at liz@peakenglish.fr and we'll get back to you with the answers you need.
Yes, during the introductory session we will ask you to specify your availability during the week for the live training session. If you can provide a range of options during the week, we will do our best to accommodate your preferences and find a mutually suitable time. Ideally you should suggest a regular time slot that can be maintained over the course of the programme, as consistency is the key to progress.
Clients have started improved their speaking fluency within 2-3 weeks, by attending all of the sessions and completing all of the exercises. Our clients that have completed the 45 hour English for Engineers training have all improved their English CEFR level. We are committed to helping you succeed with your training and will work closely with you to help you achieve great results from the first weeks.
Yes you can. Trainees have completed our professional trainings on an accelerated schedule with two x 1-hour live training sessions per week. We usually try to spread the sessions out during the week so that you have enough time to do the homework exercises between sessions. What could this look like? For example, you could have one live training session on Tuesday and one on Friday. Then, you could do your homework on Wednesday or Thursday, and over the weekend!
If you need to reschedule a session, please let us know as soon as possible and at least 24 hours in advance of the booked lesson timing so that we can offer the time to another student, and we'll be happy to reschedule.
