I did an internship at ISE as an assistant for 4 weeks: the things that I absolutely have to say are that the enviroment is fantastic, the staff is really helpful and nice and the experience that I had is very significant for my future. Working here was a pleasure!

Very cheap school but the quality is equal to the price! Unfortunately I can't recommend this school at all! Next time I would rather pay more money in order to have a nice teacher and people around you who care about you!

I passed the part time CELTA course in Feb 17. I've learnt a lot, through self study, many input sessions and the handouts supplied, recommended books, and the superb support received from the teacher trainers at ISE Hove. There were a few organisational set backs, some shoddy photocopies provided as handouts, and conflicting feedback from the trainers. But overall, the course was, although challenging, achievable, and I'm not an academic, or particularly bright !! I thank Chris Edge, Elena, Simon, and the fantastic secretary, Tiziana for their warm welcome, tireless efforts to help us, encouragement
