“The excursions were very well organised. It was fun to participate.”
“The organisation is a bit lacking. I asked for pictures of the excursions several times and received them delayed. In addition, the organisation of the class division in one week was not good. When I asked to be placed in another class because I couldn't work with my classmates, this couldn't be done. I hardly learned anything new that week, so to speak. When the classes were reassembled the following week, things went well again.”

“Good atmosphere within the school. Helpful staff and available teachers. The courses were tailored to our needs. The school is well located.”
“Apart from the Saturday excursion, we only did activities in the city, which we could do without a guide, especially as once we got there, the person waiting for us waited 1.5 hours before saying goodbye!”

Insider tip: “Despite not having had the opportunity to participate in the extra-class activities, I recommend them because they were highly praised by my classmates.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I was very happy that the course covers grammar too, because I've taken some courses that depending on the level of English, grammar was not covered.Other comments: I loved the punctuality!

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. ”

Simone, Admission Team from Centre of English Studies (CES), Edinburgh - Aug 15, 2025
Is accommodation in a host family always linked to the duration of the course or can I book extra weeks of accommodation without a course?
“We would be delighted to have the student studying with us however our hosts would expect student to study the same duration as their stay, and therefore unfortunately we wouldn't be able to offer 1 week course & 2 weeks homestay accommodation.”
Hannah, Registrar from Centre of English Studies (CES), Edinburgh - Feb 19, 2025
Is CES Edinburgh wheelchair-accessible?
“Before entering our school, we have 2 sets of few steps, and we have one classroom on the ground floor. Once you are in the building, there is no toilet facilities on the ground floor so students will need to either travel down or up the stairs to use the them.”
Hannah De Bisset, Registrar from CES Edinburgh - Dec 18, 2024
I am looking for English courses in Edinburgh for my partner. She would do a 4 week English course and I would not do the course but I would also need accommodation. What options do I have?
“Normally, schools do not offer accommodation for accompanying persons who do not participate in the courses. Therefore, in these cases, we recommend that you find your own accommodation.
However, if you let me know the specific dates, we can check with the school in Edinburgh to see if they can make an exception.”

Stephanie Tompkins, Registrar from CES Edinburgh - Apr 19, 2023
Is it possible to book the course "English & Culture 50+ Programmes" for only one week?
“Yes, this is possible. However, the price changes here, please inquire about this.”
Stephanie Tompkins, Registrar from CES Edinburgh - Mar 27, 2023
Are the prices of the courses valid for those who do not have a European Passport and travel from South America?
“The school offers regional discounts, meaning that your course can be significantly cheaper to book from South America than a student booking from Central Europe. This is adapted for the region or country that you are booking from, depending on the discounts the school applies.”
Fraser Provan , LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 16, 2022
FAQ about Centre of English Studies (CES), Edinburgh
Can I pay in installments?
“While the school does not offer such an option, by booking through our website you will be able to split the payment in 2: an initial deposit to secure the booking, and the remaining balance to be paid approximately 30 days before the course starts. ”
Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 03, 2025
For accommodation with a host family from the Centre of English Studies (CES) in Edinburgh, you state for two people, can I bring my partner, who does not take lessons?
“The Centre of English Studies (CES) school does offer the option of a double room in a host family for 2 people travelling together. However, both students must be taking courses at the school. These options are reserved for CES students. If your partner is not taking a course at the school, we will have to see if they can make an exception, but there is no guarantee that they will accept. ”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 16, 2023

- Describe in simple terms his/her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
