Here are some more details about the course:
15 weeks
Distance learning, including study materials, a dedicated tutor, a student forum and online tutorials (in the evening)
No prior language knowledge is required
Next start: 9th February 2026
Price: £149 pp, group concessions available.

This online course is for anyone working with older people, either in paid or unpaid care settings, interested in languages and cultures and/or basic knowledge of another language.
