Prices 2027
English course prices at inlingua Cheltenham
General English 20 at inlingua Cheltenham costs between £270 and £375 per week in 2027, depending on how long you stay. Intensive English 30 costs £335 to £455 per week. Homestay accommodation starts at £225 per week including breakfast, dinner and laundry. A one-off registration fee of £60 applies to every course. Every price on this page is in pounds sterling and is the full amount you pay — there are no commissions or hidden charges added later.
How the weekly price works. Group course prices fall the longer you study. A student staying four weeks pays the 1–4 week rate for every week; a student staying ten weeks pays the 9–12 week rate for every week. If you extend your course, we move you into the lower band.

Airport transfers
A private taxi from the airport to your accommodation in Cheltenham, bookable up to a week before you travel. If you are arriving with friends you can split the cost.

Unaccompanied minors (students under 16 travelling alone) pay an additional £100 each way, which covers the driver waiting with the child at the airport. If your flight is delayed or cancelled and the taxi company charges us extra, that cost is passed on. Please avoid arriving in Cheltenham after 22:00 or before 07:00 out of consideration for your host.

Questions about paying
How do I pay?
You can pay by card online, by sterling bank transfer, or through your agent. All payments are made in pounds sterling. You are responsible for your own bank charges, and the amount we receive must cover the full invoice.
Do I have to pay everything at once?
No. You reserve your place with the registration fee and, if you need accommodation, the accommodation arrangement fee. The balance is due at least three weeks before you arrive. If you book less than three weeks before your course starts, full payment is due on receipt of the invoice.
I need a visa. What do I pay first?
Students who need a visa pay a deposit of 15% of the total invoice plus all administrative fees when we send your confirmation of enrolment. Only once we have that deposit can we issue your visa support letter. The remaining balance is due three weeks before you arrive. If your visa is refused and you send us the refusal letter, we refund everything except the non-refundable registration and accommodation fees and any costs already incurred.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancelling more than 21 days before the course begins costs you the deposit and non-refundable fees. From 21 to 15 days before, the charge is 33% of the invoice; 14 to 8 days, 66%; 7 to 3 days, 75%; 2 days or less, 100%. There are no refunds once a course has started.
Are the prices on this page the final price?
Yes. Every figure here is the gross price a student pays. There are no booking fees or service charges added at checkout. The only extras are the ones listed on this page — accommodation, transfers, add-ons and the two administrative fees — and the fee calculator adds them up for you.
Can I extend my course once I am here?
Yes, subject to visa restrictions and accommodation availability. We add the extension to your original booking, which often moves you into a lower price band, so your extra weeks may cost less per week than your first ones.
