Polar Choice - Accommodation and Education

Hello everyone again and happy Friday, today atarts the weekend. J

This week we were in Grafton College of Management Sciences in London. Our contact was Diana. She works in the Recruitment Department.

She told us this….

Hello Diana, tell us more about how the school started:

Yes, of course. We started in Ireland and then, we came to London in 2003. So we are offering English courses for 10 years. We also prepare exams like IELTS and Cambridge, but mostly IELTS.

Tell us more about the school:

We have morning lesson available which start at 9 and end at 12.10.

The lessons are daily, 3 hours per day.

At the moment we are not offering afternoon or evening lessons, however we have Speaking lesson from 18.00 p.m. to 20.00 p.m.

Do the students have the possibility of combining or mixing the courses?

Exactly, they can’t mix all of them, though. I mean, if they want to prepare IELTS they can do at the same time General English, so the course will be General English+IELTS.

Talking about the courses, what do the students have to do? Do they need a book?

Our students have to take a level test at the beginning.

The maximum number of students per classroom is 15, but the average is between 8 and 9.

In regard to the books, it depends on the teachers. Generally, in the lowest level students use a book, but the other courses sometimes the use photocopies instead of a book.

Anyway, you can find the courses here in the school or on Internet, they are easy to get.

And about the teachers, what can you tell us about them?

All of them are qualified and we have a popular teacher who teaches the IELTS course. Our teachers are British except one but she is living here for many years.

And the last question, why should we choose Grafton College?

Well, good question. Our school offers every kind of equipment or facilities, this is, we have Wi-Fi, computers’ room and library. What we like the most is our social activities or programme because we offer trips to our students. We have events during the week such as Fitness First which was talking about how to carry on a healthier life and advise the students as well as give us special prices for the gym.

Another activity is to go with the students to the libraries so they can know where they are placed if they need them.
