HOW IT WORKS

Stafford House Connected allows you to book a face-to-face class in any of our schools in the UK and Canada and begin your studies from your own country through our specially designed online programme. You can book any length of course at any Stafford House school and then add between 2 and 12 weeks of online classes for before you arrive.

FLEXIBLE LEARNING

Stafford House Connected is designed to be flexible to your needs and situation. Whatever date you choose to start the face-to-face element of your course can be changed* and you do not have to start your face-to-face classes straight after completing your online classes.
