Cardiff ratings & reviews
What our students said about Cardiff
You can study in a calm environment away from the hustle and bustle of a major city. There is an arcade near the school where you can enjoy various dining options. The city is filled with historical buildings that blend seamlessly into the surroundings, and I often visited churches and other sites on my way home from school. I never felt any sense of danger regarding safety.
An exciting city, there is a lot to see and experience. There are also sights outside Cardiff that can be reached quickly. The people are very friendly. Unfortunately, the city is very dirty.
Glan-y-Llyn is not Cardiff. Why do you ask me about Cardiff? I like this little town.
What language school directors said about Cardiff
Cardiff is a great place to live and study. It offers everything you would expect from a capital city with world-class entertainment, historical sites and excellent shopping, while still being one of the cheapest places for students to live in the UK.
Most recent student reviews of language schools in Cardiff
The school building is not fully universally accessible (due to its age, renovations are limited). However, the staff were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, allowing me to attend school even while using a wheelchair. (Note: I am able to walk short distances and use the restroom independently.)
Thank you very much for arranging the necessary support so I could attend classes in a wheelchair. The staff took the time to discuss in detail what the school could and could not provide, and how best to ensure I could attend classes happily. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and accommodation.

Simple and uncomplicated enrolment. The teaching staff were committed and you could always ask questions during the lessons. Good location, good lesson timetable. Please bear in mind that 2 weeks is too short to give a meaningful assessment.
Provide an overview of the exam dates in the course programme.

Very good teachers who respond individually to the students. The teachers were motivated and it was important to them that there was a good atmosphere in the class.
Very friendly staff! I would recommend the language school to anyone.
