Additional information
Positive aspects of school
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.
Negative aspects
I chose a bad time. Exams were already taking place after 2 days. This should have been clearly communicated when I enrolled. But we found a solution for me to make up the lessons. The classrooms are small. The equipment could be a bit more modern. The school is very expensive and the lessons are too playful.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Was only at the school for 2 weeks.
Other comments
Provide an overview of the exam dates in the course programme.
City/place
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.
Quality of teaching / language progress
Would have liked more grammar and to read aloud.

Other comments
Sadly our accommodation was a disaster. Although the lady kept our rooms clean, the portion of food they gave us for breakfast was very small. In addition, we wanted an accommodation without pets, but this lady had an old cat :/ Also we wanted gluten-free food, but there was wheat flour in the bread we were eating for the BF. We had also blunt rules, but I can understand that.

Evening classes are cheaper, but the 28 lessons option breaks the day, from 12:30 to 14 and 14:15 to 17:30, it doesn't leave you enough time to eat.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
The school does not provide information so it is better that the student gets informed about the city.
Other comments
Little support to the student in general terms, few activities that favour interaction with other students or to get to know the city. Between the submission and examinations I consumed much of my time there.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Every Monday they don't start again the courses from the beginning, so when you join the class you resume the program where they had left them. The entire course has a duration of three months, but already I I reworked all topics in only five weeks. There are two residences, identical structured apartment with private kitchen every 4/5 bedrooms and private bathroom. One is behind the school the other one is a littel bit far away, but it allows you to cross the city center doing a pleasant walk.

I highly recommend it to those who plan to spend from 4 weeks onwards.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
The teaching is focused on the presence of many Arabs to whom you pay more attention to the Europeans with the excuse that they have more difficulties in learning

The wifi does not work, there is not even a shared PC.

The classrooms were small, not suitable to accommodate more than 10 people, there were only 4 of us in the class and this allowed to be followed in a better way by an excellent teacher.

Great school, there were some works in some classrooms and this suggests that it is also restored really often.

After school I have visited Cardiff Bay, it is really nice and it is worth to see. Furthermore it is pretty uncomplicated to get there. The city of Cardiff has pleased me very well and it was beautiful every single day.

The first day is a bit chaotic, because I thought they were weekly courses but they are annual courses. You just join the class and study the weekly topic.

there is no need to buy a bus ticket, it is very nice to walk through the streets to the school, maybe a day ticket is useful.

The organisation was poor... I received my accommodation information the day before. I had to ask for the emergency numbers by whatsapp... and my report wasn't ready the day I left. I was asking for it for two weeks before I got it... I think the poor secretary is really busy with all the enrolments, they should have somebody else to help him.
