§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many people will attend the English language training course in the United Kingdom; and what will be the estimated cost per attendee and for the course as a whole.
§ Mr. SoamesWe currently offer a number of English language training courses to students of various nationalities. With the exception of core courses, the number of courses and type of training offered depends on the requirements of overseas services.
Course costs depend on duration, syllabus and number of students. The average cost per student per week is currently £470.
Each course is allocated a maximum student capacity between six and 16, although where specific training is requested, this may vary.
