Focus of Study and Benefits :
English has become a vital tool for staying competitive in the modern, globalized world. UCEDA INTERNATIONAL offers a wide array of courses in English as a Second Language to students at all levels, including Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and our own college-preparation levels that we refer to as Advanced Plus. The day students arrive at UCEDA they will be given a placement test which will identify your exact level of English proficiency. Following placement testing, students will meet with an Academic Advisor who will help them to create a personalized course schedule based on students' level of English, their individual goals and availability. Placement testing is free, so don’t wait any longer – a new life is on the horizon.

Curriculum :
UCEDA INTERNATIONAL courses are offered as Intensive English Programs in order to help students obtain a firm mastery of the language in a time frame that may be condensed according to individual needs. Intensive English Programs (IEP) consist of 18 instructional hours per week. For students' convenience, each instructional site offers multiple schedules in the mornings and evenings. Most classes meet 5 days per week (MON-FRI), although some locations may also offer 4-day classes. Workshop classes, lasting only one hour each, are also held 3 days per week by an instructor who tailors the material to the individual needs of students in attendance.
