“Ian gave great, varied lessons. I got to know nice people. Afternoon activities were good, but I found the 4-hour shopping centre in Portsmouth totally stupid, I can do that at home ...”
“The placement in the classes should have been checked as it was very easy for me and hardly challenging. I said that, but was not moved to a higher class after the first week.”

Insider tip: “It's doesn't matter how long you will be there. You should talk with people in English (native speakers or not) as much as possible and use your native language as less as possible. Don't miss your time.
P.S. You probably know but I'll remind you, sockets in Britain are different, so better to take care about it in advance.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: In my opinion, the Standard General English course is more than enough for making progress in English. Of course, how interesting the studying would be mostly depends of teacher and your own interests.

“The kindness of the team, staff or teachers, even though contact was easier with some teachers than with others.”
Insider tip: “Leisure activities and trips organised by the center, at least the first week, to build links and confirm or no affinity with others.”
Details of the review
Other comments: Still a little surprised by the age mixity inside the groups. I was with more teens than adults... Not convinced even a little surprise of my level test on week 1, because a lot of people from my group had very strong accents making their English beyond understanding, and who had in my opinion more problems in speaking. Hopefully, I was moved to a higher level group after the second week.
CES Worthing has a good price-quality ratio but even with these good points it is not the best school of all. I'd have appreciated to have more people my age in my group.
PS : computer room had more broken than operating computers so they were not always available for everybody in the group. Some people in my group were thus using their smartphones. Bad point.
I refused to buy the book at the beginning of the class, I was following with someone else. Hopefully, because when I changed group, I'd have needed another book and so payed twice for two different books for a two-weeks use each.

Insider tip: “If you go to learn English just avoid spending your time with others who speak your native language. That's what I did and I have made a lot of progress. Bring a paper dictionary rather than using an iPhone or other electronic means (this will help you with learning). If you have to go to London or other cities do not chosse the organized tours. You'll spend less and have more fun.”

Student reviews about Homestay
Elizaveta
"I lived in the host family. Really nice people, I felt like a part of this family. Own room, rather small, but cosy. I could use the dining room for homework, watch TV, etc. Feeding was also good. No microwave meals. In fact I have nothing to complain.

Questions and answers about Centre of English Studies (CES)
Could your school provide an offer letter that includes the CAS number and sponsor license information to support my visa application for a 4-week short-term student visa?
“We don't have a CAS number, and we don't have a sponsor license number, but the letter is enough for our students to get the visa, given that they meet the requirements.
For a 4-week course, though, you can only apply for a standard visitor visa. For a short-term study visa, you need to book 26 weeks or more. ”
