Earlscliffe Breaking Digital FAQs

 

Although the Breaking Digital course is designed to stretch students’ abilities, our tutors are trained and supported by our academic staff in modifying the level of challenge if necessary. At SBC we are experienced in providing an inclusive learning environment and do all we can to help students.

To study in Breaking Digital, you must have a level of B1 or higher, else you may find the input of the course too challenging. 

Everyone who completes the programme receives a certificate of completion at our graduation ceremony at the end of the programme.

SBC handouts are given to students, all of which were created by our own in-house team. 

Our very own academic team has produced a selection of SBC handouts, which are distributed to students throughout the programme.

To take part in class students require their own pens. Notebooks and folders are provided.

It is not necessary to complete any required reading before Breaking Digital starts, however it is always recommended to students to continue improving their English if it helps them to feel more at ease.

I consider SBC to be an absolutely fascinating opportunity for kids not only to improve their English skills, but also to get knowledge in new professional spheres that will definitely help them to  understand  their future career aspirations better
