Weekly 'live-time' classes
Join us in Oxford or online
Our 'live-time' weekly classes are offered in two formats.
- In-person: teaching takes place at Ewert House in Summertown or at Rewley House in central Oxford. Courses are 10 weeks in duration.
- ‘Online – live’ (also known as Weekly Oxford Worldwide, or WOW): taught completely online, enjoy live, interactive tutor-led online sessions weekly, along with prerecorded lectures and course materials. Each course has 5 or 10 meetings, which includes an introductory meeting to introduce you to the online platform.
Please note: enrolments may close up to one week prior to the start date of the course. We recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.
