The Hellenic Centre offers courses at five different levels (order from lowest to highest) Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, Proficient and Mastery. All levels have three modules (eg Beginners 1, Beginners 2, Beginners 3) which need to be completed prior to progressing to the next level.

In addition we offer courses for Advanced Conversation, Reading & Writing Skills and classes for all four levels of the Certificate of Attainment in Greek.  The Certificate of Attainment is an official qualification, proving the proficiency of successful candidates in Modern Greek and is recognized by the Greek Ministry of Education.  The Certificate courses are more intensive as they aim to prepare students for the exams which take place in May each year.  However, registration for the exam, although recommended, is not a prerequisite to join these courses.

£100 (£90 concessions) for Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, Proficient, Mastery, Advanced Conversation & Grammar, Reading & Writing Skills.

£160 (£140 concessions) for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek Classes.

Concessions apply to Hellenic Centre Members, OAPs, Students, Unemployed, Westminster Rescard Holders and Registered Disabled.  Proof of identity is required.

In Advanced Conversation, the students and the tutor choose a Greek literature book.  For the Certificate of Attainment classes, once the classes start, the tutor will let you know which book you need to buy.  The Centre can make arrangments to order the books for Advanced Conversation and Certficate classes only if payments are made in advance.

PRIVATE TUITION

The Hellenic Centre and the student sign a contract which specifies the terms and conditions of the tuition.  The student has to book a block of 10 hours (minimum) which is paid in advance.  These hours can be used in any way the student wishes, eg 1 hour per week, 2 hours every fortnight etc.  However, each 10 hour block must be used within six months of the contract date.

Fees for private tuition are determined by the location and the day tuition takes place
