"Amazing experience"

Firmino Valente, student from Angola

My Personal experience was very amazing.

The school give to me the opportunity to learn and improve my English with a professional and dedicated staff that support me all moments and in all the situation that I need help during my stay in UK. I appreciate their methods with a great Teacher

My classroom was composed with a kind of people for different nationality that encourage me to socialize with a diversity of culture, habits and personality.

The social programs of school with Smile Adventure allowed me to increase my knowledge about the English places and culture and overall a opportunity to practice my English in several situations.

My accommodation in homestay was fundamental to adapt and learn about the life on Manchester.
Was a beautiful experience that I want to live again soon

Ali Alqaoud, student from Kuwait

Being in Kaplan International College was the worst experience that I ever had. A lot of my friends ask me about the college and what I told them was they are only looking for your money.

"Very Good"

Angioni Michele, student from Italy

My experience in Kaplan was very good. I liked most of the classes and most of the teachers. The location was very good, in the center of the city, and it was easy to get at it. The facility was very good too, modern and equipped with stuff we needed to study the language efficiently. The non-teaching staff was very kind and gentle. The activities were quite various and interesting. Finally, the family where I stayed was very nice. They always put me at ease and helped me to improve my English level.

"It was full of education"

Hadeel Bahaa Kashkari, student from Saudi Arabia

My experience in Kaplan was amazing. I've learned a lot, met new people, and gained new knowledge. My classmates were very friendly, my teachers are very clever, they taught me how to understand new information easily. Thankfully the location of Kaplan is very clear and near to my residence, it only took me a 10 minute walk to get there. The activities were after class of course and I honestly did not participate in any of them.

"Intensive 2 weeks course"

Leonid Mikhailov, student from Russia

It's good to learn English in this kind of groups and with so helpful teachers. But it's only effective if course time is more then 1 month but not only two weeks. For two weeks intensive course it should be more intensive!

"Very interesting and useful"

Ilya Frolov, student from Russia

I liked classes very much, Gemma the teacher was great. I have never seen such advanced facilities before, especially electronic whiteboard. Kaplan school is located in the center of Manchester. It is easy to get to the school by bus. I lived in typical british house with woman (she was around 55) and her 2 sons it was also nice. Ther are two things in Manchester which were unforgettable: architecture and MU football club.

"You have the potential to improve."

Alexander Skoblikov, student from Russia

I liked the teachers and the education system. But two weeks is very little time to evaluate the effectiveness of training. Did not like the distance of my place of residence from the school, the indifference of school staff, and weak social program.

Leonid

I think that a quantity of lessons must be more.A level of quality teachers teaching are very different.Some teachers have a low teaching level and speaks with an accent. It is a lottery which group and teacher you will have. But some teachers have a high teaching level.You can understand only a part of information when you have 2 weeks studying course with a group which studies course for 8 weeks.

Alexander Bury, student from Russia

The course helped me to improve my speaking skills especially in the frames of active vocabulary extention, although the learning period was relatively short. Education facilities are excelent. Accomodation was warm and welcome, although it was quite cold in my room and heater was not effective.I think this school is a good combination of price and quality.

"It was a great chance to find new friends, to improve my English, to discover England..... and to interrupt everything in 2 weeks. :-("

Tatiana Sokolova, student from Russia

It was just a short period (2 weeks only) in Manchester at Kaplan College, but the less time you have the higher you worth your time. I tried to do my best for improving english language and I really feel more confident now. Classes & Teachers: I attended Advanced Class and I sincerely appreciate our teacher Julian Regan, who's lectures never were boring and from whom I received so much new information. Additional lectures (not obligated) and "TV watching and discussion" were also super informative and interesting. I have a good motivation for further english learning even it was only 2 weeks in Manchester.Location: the school has perfect location in city center but my way from house to school took a very long time. Facilities&housing : Except of long way fro my host's house to school I had very nice accommodation :cosy room and private bathroom. My hosts were very friendly Activities : i didn't participate in school social life and use my free time to learn about England and to travel

"2 weeks course is nonsense"

Sotnikov Alexander

The family is friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend them as a good accommodation.It is unacceptable when classes have to sit in outdoors because of very cold condition.Rooms are too tight.Adam as a teacher is excellent but he has left Kaplan already. And finally, two week courses are nonsense at least in Kaplan. "Intensive" in the course name is just fake. There is nothing to be called intensive. You just study with normal students.

"A lot depends on the teacher"

Elizaveta Pogodina, student from Russia

I've had really good teacher, and I have positive impressions only thanks for him. To be honest school gives possibility to study English through different approaches - main classes, elective and conversation clubs. Good location, modern facilities. School's programm consist 10 week for each level - it isn't quite fit for short visit like ours. But constant communication makes it possible to improve English, including in host family. School asks feedback about conditions for living - it was fine for me their questions and the house and hostess where I was staying.

Dmitry, student from Russia

I liked some teachers. The location of the school is perfect, right in the center of the Manchester. Easy to reach by any kind of transport. The process of study is a little bit spontaneous. I assessed the school with the grade 3 only because the way of study was oriented on long-term study, not on 2 weeks students.

"Программа"

Григорий Реебер, student from Russia

Не нужно было ехать в Манчестер, чтобы на таком уровне преподавали английский язык. В России,по месту жительства, можно найти преподователей не хуже. Люди, которые приезжают на две, три недели не вписываются в программу школы в Манчестере. Другими словами у школы есть программа полугодовая или годовая, а для те кто приехал не меньший срок предоставленны, по сути, сами себе.

"Методика обучения"

Nikolay Cherednichenko, student from Russia

Я прошел данный курс в группе Elementary и мне понравилась методика обучения, которая основана не на заучивании правил и слов, а на общении в командах. Т.е. решая поставленную задачу (упражнение) тебе в любом случае приходиться говорить самому и слушать кого-то. Для столь короткого обучения, по моему мнению, это самый эффективный подход. Так же в продолжении данной методики хочу отметить целесообразность проживания именно в семьях, что также способствовало развитию разговорного навыка.

"It was useful"

Evgeny Rybalko, student from Russia

Very short course. Two weeks is extremely few.Perfect teacher - Gemma. Very good technical enviroment in classes.Not very good food (all England). Very interesting and useful communication with students from many different countries. Housing is OK.For me it was some kind of time machine. I was a real student, including doing home tasks and student discounts in restaurant!

"Education experience in a verbal environment"

Irina Kuligina, student from Russia

Firstly, the housing was very bad, but the other side I have had a chance to change it immediately. And the second experience was successful. My host was really very hospitable and we had conversations on other topics. It's very useful to participate additional elective course and conversation club. And of course it depends on teacher.

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 Kaplan International . 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 £ 40 when you register.
