What our students said about Cheltenham

It seems to be a little city, but there´s a lot to do there, the locals were very friendly, they organize meetings and you can be a part of them if you feel confident. I found always some interesting meeting or cultural event to visit. The surroundings are beautiful and everyone must visit them. You can also join to a sport club and keep with your healthy routine while meeting people.

5.0Angela Maria Mexico

Cheltenham is just the right size to get around easily and has very nice shops. However, the bus system is a disaster.

5.0Susanne Germany

I would like to get to know this special city better. I liked it very much.

5.0Elisabeth Germany

Cheltenham is a pretty spa town with character.

Information about Cheltenham

Why Cheltenham? Cheltenham is a town in England and home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, a 4 day horse racing event held annually in March at the Cheltenham Racecourse. Locals have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a short walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. But it wasn't always this way, Cheltnam was just your average, sleepy town before the discovery of a mineral spring in the 18th century, it is to this that the town owes much of its air of gracious refinement. It still boasts many graceful Regency buildings, theatres and manicured squares and you can find fine art at The Wilson museum. Cheltenham is in a great location to visit the Cotswolds, lying just west of the hills of this much-loved range. Think of the Cotswolds as unspoiled rolling countryside, cosy little villages, authentic market towns and houses built from the range’s golden oolitic limestone.

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Cheltenham

I am 63 years old and I can speak pretty fluent English, although I would like to improve my language skills in an adult course. Can you suggest anything?

“In Cheltenham, there is a program specially designed for mature students. English lessons in the morning where students will talk about the afternoon trip: they will go through the vocabulary, sentences, and expressions that they are likely to encounter. Trips to gardens, Cotswolds Villages, cathedrals, river cruises, etc.”

Ana Carolina, LanguageCourse.net - Dec 01, 2021

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.

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.

You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).

I was really surprised with your assistance to me, the service was amazing, following me on every step, thank you!

The service received has been fantastic. All doubts and issues were solved quickly and effectively. An exceptional service.

Your service was excellent . You helped me to choose exactly the right course for me .

I had excellent support with the school choice and booking. I was grateful knowing that if a problem arose, I had someone to liaise with the school and sort it out. Many thanks

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

I genuinely rate the enrolment service five stars as it exceeded my expectations - everything that was booked worked out flawlessly, and queries were responded to with minimal delay. Ana Carolina was great - thanks!

Everything was perfect. Fast and efficient help. Kindness and support from start to finish. Thanks a lot!

Excellent support. In particular, Ana Carolina is amazing and goes out of her way to help. I have called upon Ana in the past and will do so in the future. I am genuinely grateful. Thank you Ana!

Sabine was FANTASTIC! Very complete communication all along the process!

Ana Carolina dos Santos was amazing. Always kind and available, she solved all my doubts.

Sawsan was amazing throughout the booking process. Was extremely helpful and attentive and professional.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!

Don't just take our
word for it.
