OUR STAFFAll our staff are friendly and suitable qualified. Our teachers aim to make your

learning journey enjoyable and engaging by motivating you to not only learn

the language but also to learn and practice various independent learning and

study strategies. We focus on making you an independent learner so you can

continue learning the language even after finishing the course.

SOCIAL PROGRAMMESSocial activities and trips can be an important—and enjoyable—part of educa-

tion. They often significantly enhance the content of learning. Field trips are

optional thus each student must complete a waiver form if not attending. We

offer one day and weekend trip to places such as Liverpool, Leeds, Peak

District, Chester zoo. Apart from that, different social activities also run on

weekly basis such as conversation club, film night etc.

WELFAREWe understand travelling and staying in a foreign country is a stressful and

daunting experience. We are committed to take care of our students. A dedi-

cated welfare officers is available 24 hours to contact for any kind of support,

personal or academic. We aim to provide a safe environment for our students

and our college is fully monitored by CCTV. "

SAFEGUARDING UNDER 18Our college accepts international students aged 17 and over. We implement a

duty of care to those who are below the age of 18, and vulnerable adults who

attend the college. Our safeguarding policy aims to ensure that the processes

are designed to keep all of the above protected against any form of harm. For

this reason, college has a designated safeguarding officer.
