The winning formula of Douglas’ courses:

Douglas’ teachers are all mother tongue and highly qualified in teaching the Italian language to foreign students.
The aim of the course is to develop a broad range of skills, with particular attention to both expressive fluency and grammatical accuracy. In a short period of time the student is able to interact in situations in daily life and in the world of work utilising the Italian language.

Douglas language institute organizes standard, intensive and combined courses, either class (4/8 people) or individual.
An initial placement test, taken before the course begins, establishes the participant’s effective knowledge of the language so allowing for a correct placement of the student in a study group most suited to his/her level of Italian.

A ”Certificate of Studies”, released by the Dante Alighieri Institute, is awarded upon completion of the course and if the final exam is passed.
