Equally, those learners who were enrolled on an Improvers or an intermediate level 1 course at TRC before March 2020 would be advised to resume their studies at this level.

It is also for those individuals with a GCSE grade A or 7+, achieved in recent years but without being able to study it since. If you were enrolled on a higher intermediate level at TRC before March 2020, you would also be advised to resume your studies at this level.
During the course you will develop the ability to deal with a range of situations in the language:
• Revision of topics studied in the first 10 weeks (Autumn 2021 course)
