Student comments about "Real World English" at Apollo English Language Centre
Aitor
"Lots of downtime in class, and that's money."

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“The staff and teachers were nice, and the school is modern and comfortable.”
“I was expecting a course addressed to teachers up to C2 level, not C1 and another type of methodology, not centered on the book and IELTS preparation which I was not taking, but more fun and challenging.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It's addressed to students who are preparing for the IELTS. I was expecting more about the course as well as the teacher Training. There's not a lot I can bring back to my lessons as a teacher.

“Well located and correct facilities.”
“The country is expensive, but the value for money is not adequate. It was 20 hours a week but it was not worth what I paid, many changes of teachers, loss of time in class, and the quality of teaching dropped. But it's not a bad school.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Lots of downtime in class, and that's money.
Other comments There was no level test upon arrival. They are based on a test that you do at home and in the emails from LanguageCourse.Net it stated that a level test is done at the school to be placed in the right level, which is what you pay for. They also do not give you a student card and in the emails they indicate that they do.
