Positive aspects of school
The staff and teachers were nice, and the school is modern and comfortable.
Negative aspects
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.
City/place
There are certain areas which can be unsafe, and there are lots of homeless people and people drinking and smoking everywhere. It's also difficult to speak English with locals as there are a huge number of foreign people living there. It's expensive to live there too. However, there are beautiful places to visit in the city and along the coast.
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.

Positive aspects of school
Well located and correct facilities.
Negative aspects
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.
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.
City/place
Nothing special.
Quality of teaching / language progress
Lots of downtime in class, and that's money.
Accommodation
Very poor kitchen equipment. There was only one broken plastic fork, everything was dirty, sometimes there was no hot water, the washing machines did not work well and are expensive, and the reception staff had very little support.
