COVID-19 Safety measures

Ready when you are

Health is our most precious treasure. We’ve come a long way and worked hard in order to be able to provide face-to-face lessons again while ensuring the highest possible standards.

Below you can see the safety measures we have taken to provide you with training and experience that will ensure your comfort and safety.

Travelling during the pandemic

Citizens from all countries which are not regarded by the South African government as high-risk countries can enter South Africa again from 1st October 2020. The only additional requirement is a negative PCR test result that is not older than 72 hours, which will allow you into the country without having to quarantine first.

Bring a face shield or some masks, a tablet or laptop and hand sanitiser and you'll be ready to enjoy your language travel experience.

Safety measures at school

We have two smaller campuses instead of one large school as well as a large garden to teach in at Newlands and since June 2020 we have gained much experience in teaching face to face while following Covid-19 safety regulations. In addition, these are some of the measures we take:

  • Classes are run at 50% of their capacity.

  • Students use the same desk each day.

  • Masks or face shields are required by all staff and students throughout the day.

  • “No touch” sanitising stations, social distancing stickers, and information posters keep students and staff safe and informed.

  • The building is regularly ventilated and cleaned thoroughly throughout the day using disinfectant.

  • The temperature of everyone on the premises is taken on a daily basis.

  • Traffic flow inside the building is one way only.

Safety measures at the accommodation
