The expression “the full package” is an idiom in English that means “the complete offer” or “everything included.” It is used to describe a person, product, or experience that has all the desirable qualities or features.

“Hats Off” is our post-ADVANCED course, designed for students who have already achieved C1 (Advanced) level and want to reach full mastery of English (C2). The expression refers to taking off your hat as a sign of respect or admiration (for example, when greeting someone important or honoring an achievement).
