Classes at the school were good, even the afternoon activities. Also the locations of both school sites were good.

- the buildings of the Hiddingh campus are impressive and the study of the English language takes place together with the study of theatre and fine arts
- unfortunately it was semester break
- the teachers were very motivated, committed and creative
- this refers to the choice of topics and varied lesson design
- Interesting current topics were chosen: Environment, countries' stereotypes of people, slavery; (we visited a museum during class - Slave Lodge), women's rights - was especially exciting as there were only young Saudi Arabian men in my class
- scientific writing and also creative writing were practised.
- The highlight for me was the tutorial system - I didn't know it yet.

For me it was very productive time. Before I thought that I have pre-intermediate level, but I sat the level-test and was intermediate, which I was glad to discover!
But for me it wasn’t enough, I pushed myself to study a lot, it was not in vain. Now I have Upper intermediate. The main thing is you should work hardest and productive. Enjoy you time with this school.

The way to and from school on the beach was great. It's really beautiful.
If someone doesn't feel comfortable at the school, just let them out of the contract. In other schools, this is possible and it helps everyone. Money is important but not always.
The school looks like it's in the 90s and is no longer up to date.

nothing
Extremely bad organization and unmotivated staff, especially at the front desk. Older students who had English in school many years ago are given a poor rating by the placement test and sit in a class with students who have never spoken English in their lives.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Cape Town
- Is it possible/advisable to exchange or withdraw money at the airport or is it more expensive there than in the city centre?“You can change your cash in Cape Town. You can find bureaux de change at the airport. For smaller amounts you can change money locally, but for larger amounts you should really think about getting a credit card. Airports usually have less favourable exchange rates.”Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2023How can I pay for public transport?“It works exclusively cashless (except on the airport bus). You have to buy a Myconnect card once at the larger bus stops (MyCiTi kiosks) or in shops along the routes (Spar supermarkets, petrol stations, cafés, etc.) and top it up with credit.”Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2023Do you have any courses for families available?“At the time of writing, the school Bayswater is offering a family programme for families, for adults and children aged 10 and up.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 21, 2023Why can't I find any Business courses in Cape Town?“If you cannot find any Business courses in Cape Town it means we don't currently work with any schools offering these type of courses. However, please feel free to contact us if you would be interested in private lessons with focus on Business English, and we will be happy to check what we can offer. ”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 07, 2023
