Customer Feedback
The course, the trainers, the learning environment and the facilities provided are all very highly professional and learner friendly. The course was excellent in terms of content and procedure.
- Iyman El-Tahir Zahran -
It was excellent. The trainers were very professional and helpful. I couldn't imagine having better teachers. The content of the course was very interesting and the overall atmosphere of the course was amazing. It was hard work, but manageable.
-Katerina Lanickova-
The course was very intensive - but it had to be. It was a great atmosphere, I learnt more in such a short time than I have ever done before. The school was brilliant and the tutors were excellent - really helpful and very honest!
-Flora Hodson-
Superb. I was pushed to achieve my best and the tutors were very encouraging and supporting.
-Susanna Blackmore-
Exactly what I was looking for - I loved the whole CELTA process! The trainers were absolutely great, inspiring and really sensitive to individual learner differences.

School Details - Oxford Central
The school is located in the very heart of the old city only a stone's throw from bus stops for all the city's major bus routes.
Summer courses take place in our dedicated teacher training centre which has excellent modern premises including a computer suite with free WiFi internet access, a study area and well-stocked and up-to-date resource room. At other times of the year courses are run in our main school offering the same high level of resources and facilities. The school is committed to offering the very best in UK-based language teaching and students on a variety of courses thrive in the welcoming and dynamic atmosphere found here.
Accommodation is not included in the course price, but the school can arrange for you to stay either a student house or with a local family.
Out and About
As good a landmark as any is the medieval Carfax Tower, offering a wonderful view of the city as well as a useful means of orientation when setting off round Oxford's many colleges and courtyards. Each with its own character and list of former celebrity students, Christ Church boasts England's smallest cathedral, the choir at Magdalen College religiously sees in May Day with a hymn at 6am, and dinner at Queens College is still announced with a trumpet. And where else would you find all these students but at the famous Bodleian Library, with its outstanding Gothic Divinity School. But of course it's not all about work, and Oxford does its students proud with an equally fine range of eating and drinking establishments - just look beneath the surface of the expensive tourist and parent traps and you'll find a delightful range of cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes.
