E-learning provides a lot of benefits for all types of people. Some of those benefits include:

• Convenience

E-learning programmes enable you to study at your convenience without any restrictions. This helps you to plan your learning alongside your other commitments.

The English Courses UK www.theenglishcourses.uk – TEC Platform was founded in 2020 as part of Career Development College London in collaboration with Accord Business English with the aim of making high-quality English language and career development courses accessible to everyone. We help our learners bridge the gap between the standard of English achieved through generic ESOL qualifications, and being able to communicate like a native English speaker. Our English courses mirror the Functional Skills English qualifications taken by native and non-native English speakers in schools and colleges across the U.K. and are set to the same high standard. The skills our learners acquire on completion of their learning programme enable them to function effectively in both professional and everyday situations.

The CEFR is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It was

Created by the Council of Europe to provide a standard framework recognising language learners’ abilities in reading, writing, speaking and listening at six reference levels. It is Used by many English-speaking countries, including the U.K., as a benchmark for minimum language level required for work or study visas. Businesses, professional registration bodies and educational institutions may also use the CEFR as part of the recruitment or selection process for employees, members or students.

The 6 levels are

A1

A2

B1

B2

C1

C2

The A levels indicate a basic user level, B levels indicate independent user level, and C levels indicate proficient user level. Each level describes the abilities and limitations of language learners currently working at that level. 

Each of our courses are given a CEFR level indicating the course’s suitability for learners of that level. The course content and activities are designed to reinforce current knowledge and skills while also developing those necessary to progress to the next level.
