LT&D’s course runs for three weeks in Witney and two
weeks in a town in southern Hungary called Szekszard. 1 and a ½ hours from
Budapest and near the Serbian and Croatian borders, the town is an idyllic wine
producing hotbed. In Hungary teaching candidates are given opportunities to
work in a local classroom as a part of their observation process. This first
hand opportunity is of great value in applying for work afterwards and forging
bonds with the local teaching staff.

The course is currently operating with Erasmus Plus funding in alignment with the E.U, which allows the course fees to be drastically reduced. Flights
to Hungary are included in the fee. Candidates ideally will have a degree and
some familiarity with language, be it native or foreign. Grammar and phonetics
are a part of the course that will quite likely develop new skills for the
candidate. If accepted on the course it is best to do some reading up on these
subjects to help prepare for the intense nature of study.

No need to fight over a slice with these pizzas |
Usually there is time to take in the culture of Hungary
whilst on location, be sure to enjoy the cheap and friendly nightlife. A good
pizza can be as little as £5 in a stylish restaurant with a glass of wine in a
night club can be as little as £1.50. Do not worry about cutting back too much
when abroad and enjoy the intense but greatly developmental experience!
