Summer English classes

Our January–February 2026 summer classes have now finished - thank you to everyone who joined us!

Summer School will be back in January 2027. If you’re looking to boost your English skills with a short, intensive course, check back later in the year for more details.

In the meantime, you don’t have to wait until summer to study English. We offer fantastic classes all year round across all our centres. Get in touch with your nearest location and we’ll help you find the class that’s right for you.

English gains pay off for Steelfort

What our learners say

The teacher is exceptional and did not (only) teach us specific knowledge, she taught us how to fish. This kind of style of teaching reformed my previous way of learning English.

Kaimo Jiao

The course was very useful. The teacher's attitude and inspiration motivated me to learn English. I decided to work hard to improve my language, which is a barrier in the communication. I learnt the importance of stress, intonation and language functions which helped me to improve my pronunciation. I would like to join in her class anytime if I get a chance.😊

Jino George

It made me want to learn more so I can teach my kids English. I share my homework with them too.

Paying the programme fee is an investment, because ultimately, we’ll benefit too.

David Phillips – Steelfort Engineering

LEARNER

I’ve seen quick progress. Not only have they quickly gained a better understanding of the language, but also about how and why we do things the way we do them.

Aaron Jeffares – Farm manager – Moondance Farms

LEARNER

One of the major hurdles to overcome was just teaching the shy workers to speak out when they don’t understand.

Sharon FultonBevers – Thermakraft

LEARNER

Our managers say they are seeing better outcomes when staff are talking to customers and working through issues with their peers. There’s more clarity around communication and people are more relaxed.

Abi Buckell – Organisation Development Advisor – WEL Networks

LEARNER

Their English has improved and I think they’re more outgoing for it. We get fewer errors between what was asked and what happens. So it’s helpful.

Nigel Maxey – Fielden Metalworks

LEARNER

The outcome for the factory has been superb. We have been very pleased with the support we received from ELPNZ. They worked hard to deliver the outcome, and they were extremely willing to be part of the project to help our employees become a success in this work opportunity.

Before I can't speak English, and now I can speak a little bit, because my teacher is a very nice teacher and she understands me for everything.
