Flexible Start Dates at ILSC

Program start dates 2025/2026

ILSC Language Schools offers ongoing flexible start dates for most of our programs. Programs run in 4-week sessions, Specialty programs usually begin on the first day of a session or on set start dates, but students taking General programs can start on any Monday year-round.* Programs run subject to enrolment. All Online English programs start on session start dates.

*For the best experience we encourage students NOT to start on week four of the session, which falls on the following dates in 2025: Jan 20, Feb 17, Mar 17, Apr 14, May 12, Jun 9, Jul 7, Aug 4, Sep 1, Sep 29, Oct 27, Nov 24, Dec 22, 2026: Jan 19, Feb 16, Mar 16, Apr 13, May 11, Jun 8, Jul 6, Aug 3, Aug 31, Sep 28, Oct 26, Nov 23, Dec 21.
