"SE PODRÍA HABER APROVECHADO MÁS EL TIEMPO"

CELIA VELASCO, student from Spain

LAS CLASES FUERON AGRADABLES, AUNQUE, EN MI OPINIÓN, SE PODRÍA HABER APROVECHADO MÁS EL TIEMPO. LOS PROFESORES HAN SIDO CORRECTOS EN EL TRABAJO, AUNQUE NO SUFICIENTEMENTE EFECTIVOS. NO SE TRABAJÓ PRÁCTICAMENTE NADA LA EXPRESIÓN ESCRITA PARA LO CUAL, EN MI OPINIÓN, SE PODRÍA HABER UTILIZADO EL TIEMPO LIBRE, CON CORRECCIÓN POR EL PROFESOR. LA CASA ESTABA LEJOS DE LA CIUDAD Y LA FAMILIA, AUNQUE CORRECTA, NO HACÍA NINGÚN ESFUERZO POR AYUDAR EN EL IDIOMA. LA COMIDA ESTABA RESTRINGIDA Y POCO VARIADA; AUNQUE CUIDÁBAMOS ENORMEMENTE EL AGUA, SIEMPRE NOS HACÍAN OBSERVACIONES DESAGRADABLES EN CUANTO A SU PRECIO. EL ASPECTO MÁS POSITIVO FUE QUE EL EDIFICIO ERA AGRADABLE Y LIMPIO Y QUE TENÍA UN TV EN LA HABITACIÓN PARA ESCUCHAR EN INGLÉS.

"3 weeks in England"

Sarah Cadotsch, student from Switzerland

I went to Brighton for 3 weeks. It was very nice. I met a lot of new friends from all over the world. I learned a lot about a new country and other cultures. My English is also much better than before. :) It's just my 3th year learning English and I can speak and read and write so much. The classes were very funny and I met some other people from my country, too. The teachers were very friendly and they explained everything exactly so that the whole class understood it. The locations were ok. The PUB was a meeting-point for the students. Most of the activities were good. I liked to go to the cinema and to watch some films in English (Harry Potter & Cars 3). The food at the school was sometimes not so good but it was ok. The host family, where I lived was very far from school. That was sometimes a little problem. The family was very nice and we had a lot of fun together. So I really liked the trip to England, Brighton. I also liked when we went one Saturday to London, which was amazing.

"This magic trip"

Anna Kryukova, student from Russia

It was my third time in England that's why I knew what to expect from the trip. I liked the place where the school was situated, I mean the town, Brighton. What for disadvantages, I can name the morning way from residence to the school building. It took 15 mins by bus. After two weeks in residence I moved to a host family. That was a real experience for me. I suppose the time I have spent with them helped me to improve my speaking and listening abilities. By the way, I still keep in touch with my host family. As for activities, I would say that the list of them is too short. I would add some more excursions. Apart from all the disadvantages of the programme I gave been to, I made lots of friend and enjoyed the time.

"Breathtaking"

Anna Kryukova, student from Russia

I want to thank you very much for organising such an educational and cheerful trip at the same time. I liked the location of the school (just next to central park), the host family, my group, of course. The way of studying in KAPLAN aspect includes having fun and working on grammar. I think that it is because I had vacation english program but I liked it. Anyway I would like to come back again!

Drying and ironing facilities will also be made available to you.

Whilst staying in a host family you will have access to communal rooms such as the lounge, dining area and kitchen. Most students will not be able to use the cooking facilities and each family will advise the student on what a student has access to in the kitchen. Bathrooms will be shared with the host family.

You can choose between half board and bed and breakfast. If you choose half board, then you can expect to have breakfast and evening meals with the host family from Monday to Sunday.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC Brighton. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 75 when you register.
