Learn English online - individually and professionally supervised

Questions and answers

Some providers also offer you the opportunity to learn English online and prepare for upcoming internationally recognized exams. Unlike many other language courses, online courses offer the advantage that the teacher focuses exclusively on you and you are required to study intensively throughout the entire lesson. This leads to greater learning success, so that you can complete the preparations for a diploma exam in a much shorter time than is the case in a conventional language course at a language school. In terms of content, there is little difference between the two types of course. You can learn all the English online that you would learn in a normal language course, sometimes even more, and in this way prepare optimally for Cambridge certificates such as the Preliminary English Test (PET), the First Certificate in English (FCE), the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAE), the Certificate of Proficiency English (CPE) or other examinations. Preparation for TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS or BULATS tests is also possible at some language schools.
If you want to learn English online, online language schools will be happy to prepare you for diploma exams. For language diplomas at a higher level, a passed diploma at the previous level is obligatory. These are the most common English language diplomas (but not the only ones) at level C1/C2:
  • C1: Cambridge English Advanced (CAE)
  • C1: Cambridge English Business Higher (BEC H)
  • C1: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) C1
  • C1: TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) C1
  • C1: IELTS (International English Language Testing System) C1
  • C1: ILEC (International Legal English Certificate) C1
  • C1: ICFE (International Certificate in Financial English) C1
  • C1: BULATS (Business Language Testing Service) C1
  • C2: Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE)
  • C2: IELTS (International English Language Testing System) C2
  • C2: BULATS (Business Language Testing Service) C2
If you want to learn English online, you usually have several options for doing so. Depending on the school, different models are available to train you according to your needs. You can often learn English with a teacher via webcam so that you can combine one-to-one lessons with the convenience of learning flexibly wherever you want. The main focus is on oral communication and you are encouraged to speak freely and as much as possible.

There are also combined courses in which you receive individually compiled teaching materials and work through them at home. Various tools are available to help you with your learning, such as vocabulary optimizers, translators and dictionaries. You also have conversation courses where you can practise your pronunciation with a teacher live on screen and have questions answered. Instead of e-learning via webcam, you also have the option of taking telephone lessons to improve your fluency. You can find other models for learning English online directly from the relevant language schools and course providers.

Each school determines the duration of its English courses itself, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

At many language schools, you can book language packages ranging from a few refresher lessons to preparation for special English language exams with around 50 lessons. These lessons can be taken at any time, depending on how quickly and intensively you want to learn English online.

We recommend 4 to 6 months for online courses with around 50 lessons for people who are not in too much of a hurry. With other schools, you book the courses for predetermined dates, for example every Tuesday from 6.30 to 9 p.m. over a period of perhaps 16 weeks. With this option, you are a little more tied down, but you can usually catch up on missed lessons.

It is worth comparing the offers of the language schools to find the best and most suitable offer for you.

We recommend getting information directly from the provider. Use our contact form or the "Ask a question" button to get in touch with the right contact person quickly, easily and without obligation.

In addition to English courses in the classrooms of the language school, many people are increasingly interested in the possibility of continuing their education in an online course. Learning English online is a flexible educational measure that can be carried out without having to travel, enabling participants to learn English from anywhere in the world where fast internet is available.

English courses usually take place at fixed times, so you have your fixed lesson times, just like with the familiar language courses at school. Instead of driving to school, you simply boot up your PC and communicate with teachers and fellow students via chat, webcam, a specially developed program or Skype.

However, some language schools also allow you to set the date and time of each lesson yourself, which gives you even more flexibility. However, if something should come up, you can simply reschedule your English online course one day in advance.

There are also self-study English courses that provide you with all the documents you need, including audio files, and are particularly suitable for people who want to consolidate or revise their existing knowledge.

Can you also imagine the option of "learning English online"? There are also numerous offers for online courses in English. Innovative and efficient lessons are also possible when learning English online. Another advantage of learning English online:

  • Independent, efficient learning with the English online course
  • Learn English online when and where you want
  • Spend time learning English online in the areas where you have weaknesses
  • In some cases, the online English course teaches cultural knowledge as well as language skills
  • Choose your own topics for learning English online
  • Check correct pronunciation when learning English online via microphone or Skype

As you can see, online English courses also offer you a number of advantages. It's not just about being independent of time and place. Virtual classrooms are also an option, where you can meet other people from different regions who are learning English online together in virtual classrooms.

There are many extremely good offers from Swiss online language schools that provide you with professional English training. You learn the material provided by the school at home or at another location where you can study in peace and quiet and then go through it online with a teacher in a face-to-face session. This way, you don't have to travel to the school's location and still have the opportunity to learn English with a professionally trained language teacher. These language courses are extremely flexible and are often offered in the form of individual lessons, so that your learning success can be many times higher than in many conventional language schools.

If you are interested in such an online language course, you need have no concerns that this method is less effective or reputable than others. If you still have doubts as to whether English training in the form of an English online course is suitable for you, ask the relevant schools about the possibility of a trial lesson. Almost all schools will give you a trial lesson so that you can get a first impression and then make a decision. Without any obligations or costs for you, of course. Here at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you will find a large selection of online courses for your English training.

There are indeed specific courses available for completing an English course online. There are several different options for an English course online:

  • Virtual classroom - live lessons with internet access, end device and virtual classrooms
  • Language platforms - self-paced and flexible English course online for perfect integration into everyday life
  • Blended learning - face-to-face and online teaching combined
  • Language training by Skype or telephone - as exam preparation or short-term intensive learning progress
  • Online courses for different target groups such as companies, children, young people and senior citizens

Check in detail which is the best option for you from the selection of English courses online and whether it should be an English online course with a certificate.
