English Language Holidays for Creative Professionals

Both courses are highly enjoyable English language holidays for professionals of art and design and creative industries.
Both courses target the language skills artists, designers and all other creatives need to explain their work, collaborate with international peers and present their practice.
The difference between the two courses is whether you choose the language immersion activities (for your afternoons) or opt for one-on-one private coaching.
