Welcome! We're very happy that you want to join us and we look forward to meeting you! The first step in booking a course with us is to complete our registration form, below. Please complete one form per student.
Have questions? Check out our reg form FAQs. If you need assistance, please contact us.
Please note: price shown as a guide only and will be confirmed at time of booking.
Please contact us at hello@engxcel.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) when assessing students' levels:
A1 - Elementary
A2 - Pre-intermediate
B1 - Intermediate
B2 - Upper intermediate
C1 - Advanced
C2 - Proficiency
Before starting a course, we will ask you to complete a placement test which will give us an accurate assessment of your level. Entering your estimated level in your registration will initially help us to confirm availability.
Some of our courses are booked by the lesson, like Xcel Online Tailored. These ask you to choose:
Number of lessons - the number of 45-minute lessons you want to book
Start date - the Monday of the week you want to start your course
Duration - the number of weeks you want from the first lesson to the last lesson of your booking.
Once we receive your booking, we'll be in touch to discuss which days of the week and times you want to take the lessons.
Twin rooms are only available for people travelling together such as family or friends. If you are travelling alone and require homestay, you will need to select the single room option.
Complete one registration form per person and select the room type you would like for each family member. We will then review your selection before confirming availability and price.
When completing your form, select your preferred room type (eg twin room) then enter details of who you will be staying with in the 'do you have any other requests?' box.
Unfortunately, our online form doesn't currently allow you to select 'accommodation' as a pick up/drop off location unless you have booked our homestay accommodation.
We're looking into this but in the meantime you can still register for your course - just select "No" for the question "Would you like to add a transfer?" and we can add it for you later (just let us know by email).
We've listed the most common airports, ferry ports and train stations students use when travelling to us, but if you're arriving somewhere else, we can usually help - just ask!
You can still register for your course and any accommodation in the meantime - just select "No" for the question "Would you like to add a transfer?" and we can add it for you later (just let us know by email).
Select 'No' to the transfer question and click 'Next'
We only ask you for the information we need to offer you the most suitable course and look after you whilst you're with us. We also require certain information from you in order to meet both legal requirements and accreditation requirements.
Please see our Privacy Notice for details on what your personal information is used for and how it is stored.
You can check if you need a visa using the gov.uk website.
Complete and submit the form as normal. We will check your registration and apply any discounts owed. If you still feel the price is wrong, let us know and we'd be happy to look into it for you.
We aim to get back to all enquiries within 48 hours, but occasionally it can take a little longer. Our office hours are 09:00-13:00 Monday to Friday (UK time) so there may be a delay if submitting your registration over the weekend.
No - you only get added to our mailing list if you opt in by ticking the box on your registration form, which is your choice entirely.
Being on our mailing list allows you to receive some fantastic special offers as well as news and information about new programmes and life in Cambridge.
