We recommend that you start IGE or EFU this week; it is the start of a new course block. (Once you start an EFU course block, you must complete it).

It’s fine to join IGE or EFU in this week; it’s just not as ideal as the weeks. (Once you start an EFU course block, you must complete it).

Sorry, but you cannot join IGE or EFU in this week.

Our examination preparation courses have fixed start and end dates.

Academic Year recommended start dates (other start dates are possible).
