English courses for au pairs

English courses for au pairs are for those who want to study English to meet the au pair education requirement. Au pairs must complete 6 semester hours of academic credit over the first year, equivalent to approximately 80 classroom hours over one year or 2 class hours per week over one year. These courses are ideal for au pairs who must fit these English classes around their work hours and can therefore only take evening or weekend classes or part-time classes in the middle of the day. Most host families will pay for part of the cost of the tuition, materials, and transportation to and from the English school.
