5-week Saturday Courses
Our Saturday Courses are a great way to learn if you can’t find time during the week or don’t want to study for a whole weekend. The 5-week Saturday courses deliver 20 hours of tuition over seven weeks, studying for 4 hours on Saturday mornings, leaving you to enjoy the rest of your weekend! They are taught in a relaxed social atmosphere, in small groups, by qualified and experienced teachers. This allows you to get a thorough understanding of the language, whilst getting to know your class mates and teacher as well.
If you want to progress more quickly or prefer to study more intensively, you can cover the same syllabus in less time: Study twice a week with our 5-week Fast Track Course or condense the course into just 5 days with our 1-week Intensive Courses.
If you prefer to learn at a more leisurely pace over a longer period of time, you can study once a week with our 10-week Courses.
Cactus offers a variety of courses to suit all needs and budgets. You can take a standard language course from 10 weeks or as little as a weekend course. Learn more about our types of courses.

Course Info
These are group courses which acknowledge individual needs. The content is academically sound and will promote and lead towards long term aims with the language. The teaching, by native speaker teachers, will be communicative, intimate, fun and will engage and stretch the students. Although the emphasis will be on speaking and listening grammar will be included and taught in context. Our courses are monitored throughout, feedback gathered from students at the mid and end of each course (together with any direct contact) and acted upon by Cactus Language Training.
