Z.R R1 StarThe worst ever.
I studied here for a month, it was a disaster, disorganized classes, unhelpful reception and unclear materials, and students have been randomly applied to different classes way better or way worest than thier current level
Kaplan is so much better.Saturday 7th May 2022
Irma Giordano1 StarThe worse IELTS experience of my Life. They started the test at random time...It was difficult to understand how many minutes we had left...The volume during the listening part was very low. Then, there was a clock in the exam room but they said to not look at It, because It was not exact and then they looked at an hidden clock without tell us how many minutes we had left each time, unless we asked. I took for the first time the Ielts test, at an other organization, on september 2020 and l achievied a 7 out of 9. Two weeks ago, l took again the Ielts with them after months or additional studying and this time the score has been even lower 6.5....this make no sense... the way the test has been organized put the test taker in a disadvantaged situation. In addition, l truely believe that my speaking score does not rapresent my Real preparation. Indeed, l feel the fact that the interviewer was wearing a black mask and speaking lower, badly affected the flow of the conversation. Although It is true, we have to follow the cov19 restrictions, It is also true that there are also transparent masks or other face covering available, which would not affect the possibility to well understand the interviewer.

Celyus McYavel5 StarI've stayed here for one week thanks to my company. It was very useful. Maybe the old and noisy building is not perfect for studying but the teacher really was kind and perfect for me to improve my English.Thursday 6th June 2019
Thibault R.5 StarI did a great internship there, great staff, I met students from the whole world, one of the best experience in my life so far.Wednesday 27th November 2019
Irsa Ocean1 StarI sat the IELTS test in this place. The building condition is very poor. It doesn't worth £155 to sit an exam in a noisy area.Thursday 16th November 2017
