OHC English courses focus on what you can do in English, rather than what rules you know. For this reason, OHC English syllabuses are carefully aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR is widely used around the world to describe standards in language education, and forms the basis of syllabuses for the Cambridge English Examinations. Basic User
