Flexible Start Dates at ELS

Program Start Dates 2026 | 2027 | 2028

While all programs run in 4-week sessions, students can start on any Monday year-round (Tuesday if Monday is a public holiday). For the best experience we encourage students to start at the beginning of a session where possible and not to start on week four of the session.
