We use [get at] to mean imply (something):

  • We’ve spent an hour in this room and I still can’t understand what he’s talking about. [replacing phrasal verb]
  • We’ve spent an hour in this room and I still can’t see what he means. [replacing phrasal verb]
  • We’ve spent an hour in this room and I still don’t know what he’s implying. [replacing phrasal verb]

  • Whatever he’s getting at, I don’t like it.
  • I can see what you're getting at. It's a difficult decision but I don't see how I can help you.
Our online courses and modules are designed with you in mind:

  • flexible: you have busy lives, so our courses fit your schedule
  • practical: we use everyday examples and situations to help you understand
  • practice: there is only one way to improve; mistakes are there to help us learn
  • support: a personal mentor works with you
