Dear friends,

this this is the 3d time i am chosing ETC International College. I ll just try to explain why. First of all - the greatest location in lovely Bournemouth. Its very close to London but less expensive at the same time. Seaside city, big enough and very safe. For children and adults . I will be honest enough ETC is not the most famouse school at the region but the range of different courses are very competitive. In this particular place you ll be able to find absolutely differnt courses from vocational and general english to english in different specific fields and exam preparation, teachers training and Foundation. ETC is well organised and friendly place. For example i have never faced with any difficulties . Stuff is all the time ready to help and find a solution to your problem.Everything is very quick and well explained.  Teachers have absolutely differnet methodics and lesson structure. I would like to say that if you really study hard your language will  improve very soon. I spent 3 month this time, and in early years 1 month and 3 weeks. Last time became for me the greatest experience because i got real result and very high IELTS score thanks to ETC teachers . AS for people - yes i agree with some previous comments that a lot of arabic students BUT, all people are speaking english at school and during the lessons. Teachers are doing their best to make lessons very interesting and take attention of students. I think the problem is not at school, a real problem is the reason why you want to study and what do you want to achieve . If you came just for fun, yes you will find a lot of good friends to have fun with, but teachers and school are not guilty if someone doesnt want to study enough. Oppositly, if you came to get real knowledges, everyone at school will help you to achieve great success. Some more wards about students -  especially its Spanish, Arabic, French, latin America(Brazil, Colombia), Italy and many other European Union Countries, not too much Kazakhstani And Russian students, etc. So its mean that every student have an amazing opportunity to meet different people.

I just came back from this school in Bournemouth. The location of the school is fantastic. It is just few hundred meters away from the beach. The school is also close to the town center. The teachers were great and professional. I wish I could go back next year. I met a lot of people from around the world. Thank you!

Hey guys, this school is absolutely amazing.

I was a student for 2 years and half in total learning general and Business English, and IELTS course. I definitely had brilliant time, experience and achievement. Thus, I was able to study at one of the best UK university for sport (of course, I have finished my MSc as well). 

What I want to tell you guys is that there are not only good teachers but also fantastic atmosphere in this school. Oh! furthermore, the reasonable price.;) 

I miss all the teachers and staff at ETC a lot. AND Bournemouth, the lovely town!

Take care all my friends whom I have met there if you see this.

The school is just 10 min walk from town center and from the beach. The location is perfect, the school is in quiet location but everything is not far away. The teachers are great and there are students from around the world. I stayed in the school hotel which is next to the school. Bournemouth is bueatiful town with amazing beaches. The school organises a lot of trips including London trips which is well worth it.
