What we like about the school
  • Private garden space with summer BBQ patio.
  • TOP 12% highest inspection scores among all UK schools in British Council inspection (Gazette 2021/2022).
What we dislike about the school
  • Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.
  • Class time is shorter than in other schools at 40 minutes per lesson.

Surrounding EF Manchester there are parks, universities, shops, eateries and much entertainment, ensuring a student's time inside and outside of the classroom is both exciting and informative. A short 30-minute journey from the city centre, students of the school are in an excellent position, 5km outside of the city centre, to enjoy Manchester and all it has to offer. The Manchester International airport is around a 60-minute journey from the school via public transport.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.

I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
