"It was an unforgettable and fantastic experience"

Maria Verde, student from UK

The experience in the British Learning Academy was unique. with the class I felt at ease because it has been easy to make friend. The teachers was very nice and good. The best thing was the location because it was very quite and tidy . The facilities were cozy and clean, in fact, I found myself well in the house. The activities were fantastic, both in the afternoon and in the evening. I hope to redo this wonderful experience and spend another two weeks like this.

"Highly recommended"

Beatrice Bazzoffia

Amazing experience!

I enjoyed every aspect of it.

The location was great, rooms were very comfortable and clean and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Teachers were tried their best to help each one to get further and my English has improved very much while having fun (not like a school in Italy!!!)

Also, Making and selling t-shirts was a good opportunity to know other students & make friends.

I would definitely recommend it!!!!

"Best summer camp I have been to!"

Christine Kranz

I really liked my time at the campus in Chichester. I fell very independent with my own room and timetable to respect. The campus is beautiful very big and green, full of sports fields and the location was great. I really liked Chichester with the Cathedral and the old town. My teacher was very nice and funny. She made us study a lot and my English improved a lot.

The team leaders were awesome and we had a lot of fun with the activities they planned for us. Zombie night was my favourite! The food was not my favourite but I like to try food different from Austrian food!

"Fantastic course and friendly staff!"

Fello Matallana

The course was very innovative, the teachers and activity leaders were awesome and the experience was inspiring.

When I booked the Entrepreneurs programme I wasn't quite sure to what to expect. Perhaps some course that explained English business terminology and business practices. Instead we were immersed in a real business from day one. We have to design produce and sell T-shirts to real customers by the end of the two week's course.

I learned so much about business, the English working culture and my English improved a lot. I was using the language to do things, rather than just going to a boring english lesson!!!

Chichester is small but beautiful, with my friends I would go to Starbucks often in the afternoon. So many activities were organised every afternoon and evening. It was great!

"I improved my English, made new friends and discovered beautiful Chichester!"

Piero Gammauta

The campus is surrounded by a park and very big. Full of students coming from different countries. We were busy all day long with lessons in the morning and doing activities and sports with friendly and funny team leaders every afternoon and after dinner. My teacher was great and we were doing loads of conversation so I improved my English. We also made t-shirts during afternoon laboratories and sold them at the local market. I was so happy to be able to speak to locals and sell t- shirts like a real business man! I would love to go back! The rooms very single so there was a lot of space for my suitcase and clothes.

"A wonderful experience in an amazing school!"

Cetti Catalano

My experience at the British Learning Academy was excellent. Not only I improved my English, but I had the chance to meet people from lots of different places and found new friends.
The classes were always engaging and fun, focused on conversational and writing skills, grammar and reading but also full of information about the British culture. The teachers were very friendly and approachable, but, at the same time, very professional.
The school was located in the English countryside but also close to the seaside and the lovely town of Chichester. This made the experience very special, as we had the chance to do lots of outdoor activities as well as getting to know all about the history of the town.
During the weekends, we went on trips all around England : we visited London, Oxford, Cambridge, Stonehenge, Salisbury and even the Isle of Wight! The staff accompanying us would guide us throughout the day around the most interesting places and give us insights on them.
The team leaders would organize after school activities with competitions, talent shows, excursions, sports tournaments..we never had a boring day!
The campus and facilities were excellent and the food was always really good!!
All the staff in the school was ready to help you with any issue that you might had and they made our stay in the school wonderful!
I would recommend the British Learning Academy to wants to learn English but also wants to have a unique experience that will never forget!

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 £ 25 when you register.
