Hi! My name is Micaela, I’m from Lisbon-Portugal.
I always had the dream to do a English course abroad and the ILC Birmingham was undoubtedly the best choice I ever made!
Apart from the amazing location right in the city centre, the school has an amazing student environment, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and I’m very happy with the teaching quality!
This unique experience also, allowed me to meet people from all over the world.
I’ve been here for six months and I’ve improved my English a lot!
I’m very grateful for this unforgettable experience and I strongly recommend it to everyone! Obrigada!

I would like to thank the team at the International Language Centres/Bristol for welcoming me during these months of the course. I am in a very important phasein my life and this time with you has been extremely positive. Everyone is very friendly, especially Rosanna. The teachers are perfect in their friendliness and enthusiasm to teach classes at a pace that involves all students and using different learning methods (group activities, games, conversation). I especially thank Christine for always being so attentive and patient. In addition, we have a social program that helps us get to know each other a little better, visit new places and practice speaking. Thus, I am sure that my English will improve a lot as I learn new words, expressions and, above all, the importance of perseverance. Finally, Bristol is a multicultural, vibrant city, with students from all over the world and with great leisure activities. Gratitude for the opportunity and for everyone's work.

Colchester is a warm home for all  foreign students who wish to improve their English. Teachers helped me reach  the score I needed for my further studies and I was given their full attention, careful, encouragement, and support. The school provides a  high quality of teaching and considers everyone’s way of learning and dealing  with that in a professional , sensitive and careful way. The flexibility of  every staff at the school from the first contact until my last day made my  journey just perfect. It was the best destination for me to learn English,  improve my skills, get new financial knowledge and meet so many lovely  teachers, staffs and students. Host families provided by the school are very  nice people, they treated me like a daughter, I enjoyed our discussions, our  time and every meal we had together. Colchester is an unforgettable place . And I’m so glad I have been there.

Hi! I’m Alice, I come from Italy and I was a student at Colchester in Autumn 2016. I would highly recommend this school to everyone who wants to learn or improve their knowledge of the English language. I attended the IELTS class, as my goal was to achieve at least a 7 in each component of the exam, in order to apply for a Ph.D. in Psychology.
