Format
AI offers a broad range of language programmes. Lessons with highly qualified, distinguished teachers are injected by a strong dose of personal attention to student's wellbeing during their stay in Italy in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our groups have at most 12 students, but in practice are made up of an average of 6 to 8 students to maximise efficiency and flexibility, and to pay a special attention to every student. The simple yet efficient structure of the courses, focused on developing communicative skills and on learning by practicing grammar and vocabulary, fit the guidelines of the Common European Framework for Languages and plays an important role in maintaining the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management certificate.
