Important Notice: En Coursera is an independent educational platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Coursera, Inc. or any accredited educational institution. Please read this disclaimer carefully before enrolling in any courses.

1. Educational Purpose Only

En Coursera courses are designed for educational purposes to support English language learning. Our courses:

  • Provide structured language learning content and practice opportunities
  • Offer self-paced study materials and exercises
  • Follow established second language acquisition principles
  • Support adult learners in developing English communication skills

2. No Guaranteed Learning Outcomes

We do NOT guarantee:

  • Proficiency Levels: Reaching specific CEFR levels or test scores
  • Learning Speed: Acquiring language skills in specific timeframes
  • Individual Results: That all students will achieve identical outcomes
  • Perfect Pronunciation: Achieving accent-free or native-like pronunciation

Factors Affecting Learning Outcomes

Language learning success depends on numerous variables beyond course content:

  • Prior language learning experience and linguistic background
  • Time invested in study and practice (frequency and duration)
  • Quality of engagement with course materials
  • Opportunities for English use outside the course
  • Individual cognitive factors and learning aptitude
  • Motivation, persistence, and consistency of effort

Career and Employment Reality

Professional success requires multiple factors beyond language skills:

5. No Examination Success Guarantees

Our courses are NOT designed to prepare students for specific standardized tests:

  • TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge exams, or other English proficiency tests

While general English proficiency may support test performance, exam success requires:

  • Practice with authentic test materials
  • Understanding of test-taking strategies
  • Professional guidance from certified test preparation programs

6. Realistic Learning Timelines

Language acquisition is a gradual process requiring sustained effort:

  • Reaching intermediate proficiency (B1-B2) typically requires 6-18 months of consistent study
  • Advanced proficiency (C1) generally requires 2-4 years of dedicated learning
  • Near-native proficiency (C2) may require many years of immersion and intensive study
  • Individual timelines vary significantly based on numerous factors

We do NOT claim:

  • "Fluent in 30 days" or similar rapid fluency promises

  • Language is constantly evolving; some usage may change over time
  • Regional variations exist in English vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation
  • Different style guides may recommend different conventions
