The English and Coffee training program was created in 2017 as a new option for users to learn English on a flexible schedule, especially for those immersed in the working world.

This program has been designed based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as the standard guideline for teaching and learning English.

The program consists of 13 levels which, like the Foreign Language program, start at level A1.1 and go up to level B1.5, for a total of 520 hours of effective contact.

The textbook New Cutting Edge from Pearson is used by the instructor as a reference, but it will not be used by students, as the course content must be partially adapted to the nature of the program.

The course program includes access to a blog available online where students can consult the general content for each level.
