The Hellenic Centre offers courses at five different levels (order from lowest to highest) Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, Proficient and Mastery. All levels have three modules (eg Beginners 1, Beginners 2, Beginners 3) which need to be completed prior to progressing to the next level.

In addition we offer courses for Grammar & Conversation, Intermediate Conversation, Advanced Conversation, Reading & Writing Skills and classes for all four levels of the Certificate of Attainment in Greek.  The Certificate of Attainment is an official qualification, proving the proficiency of successful candidates in Modern Greek and is recognized by the Greek Ministry of Education.  The Certificate courses are more intensive as they aim to prepare students for the exams which take place in May each year.  However, registration for the exam, although recommended, is not a prerequisite to join these courses.

£110 (£100 concessions) for Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, Proficient, Mastery, Grammar and Conversation, Intermediate Conversation, Reading & Writing Skills.

£205 (£185 concessions) for Fast Track Beginners 1+2.  This is an absolute beginners course which runs twice a week.  In order to complete the course successfully students need to attend both days.

£175 (£155 concessions) for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek Classes.
