The course is available to any group of two to six persons in any country.
You may register online at any time. The fast-track course covers the
same scope as the MDL short course in Professional
English, but has only two exercise assignments and a final examination
assignment. It is also, unsurprisingly, somewhat more intensive than the
3-month course.
The students start with a full-time one-day study session (using the study
guide and DVDs), with no preparation required. On this first day, they
start their first exercise assignment (which involves editing a piece
of complex writing). The group subsequently has one week within which
to submit the completed exercise assignment. The second exercise assignment
(which is individualised) is then started and completed in week two. This
assignment involves each student's own writing. The group examination
assignment is received at the end of week 2, and must be completed within
a week.
Each student is awarded a certificate upon successful completion of the
course. The certificate states that the student has successfully completed
the team-based MDL course in "Professional English", and, where
the team achieves a distinction, this is clearly so indicated. The general
international fee is £225.00 (this includes all materials, online support,
assessments and examination, and courier).
