»OK» is specifically designed for teenagers on short 3-4 weeks courses in the UK. There are 12 units divided into 3 separate lessons, each 45-60 minutes long. There are accompanying workbooks, teacher's books and cassettes at each of the 3 levels.

»Fast Forward» is a series of four courses progressing from elementary to advanced level, which are specifically designed for adults on intensive courses of 60-80 hours. The courses are independent of each other, but are linked in philosophy and approach. For each of the four levels, there are two student's books which work in parallel: the Classbook and the Resource Book. The Classbooks concentrate on communicative skills between students in the classroom. They develop speaking and listening skills through such activities as games, role-plays and projects. The Resource books are designed for self-study. They contain self-access summaries of the grammar and communicative functions of each unit, grammar and writing exercises, and reading and listening passages. (Each level also has a Teacher's Book and cassettes). «Fast Forward 2» follows the same pattern as the other levels, with increasing emphasis on skills work, project work, simulation and role-play.
