Continuing studies

Once graduated, all VGC Virtual students gain access to our Continuing Studies online platform, a platform designed for our alumni to maintain the English level they earned. We provide a new online English lesson every week, and they are divided into four categories: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. By offering you the opportunity to practice and continue to learn English online, we want to make sure that you keep the English level that you graduated with from VGC Virtual. This is just one of the ways in which students will always remain part of the VGC family.
