This summer I took lessons at the international house in Belfast for 4 weeks. This was in preparation for my CAE, which I passed thanks to the good preparation. This is a small to medium-sized school with a family atmosphere. I had lessons with Ryan and Theresa, both very good teachers who offered exciting lessons. Good atmosphere in the school. Besides the numerous leisure activities offered by the school, the international house students (young to old) were often out together for pub visits and weekend trips. I stayed with a host family, very pleasant, my wishes were taken into account, my host was located in walking distance to the school. Belfast is an interesting city with friendly people. I highly recommend taking lessons at International House to improve your English.

I enjoyed every single minute that I spent in Belfast, and especially the school! I was preparing for the Cambridge Proficiency Exam and my teachers were able to teach me a lot of really interesting things. They made sure that I was able to pass my exam! The whole atmosphere at the school is wonderful too. :) We weren’t that many students in our class and because of that we were really able to get to know each other pretty well. The teachers were also able to really focus on the students individually! Overall it was just a wonderful experience studying at International House Belfast!

My experience in Belfast was fantastic. But, above all, International House gave me the best way to enjoy this city. They advised me a lot of social activities in order to have beautiful memories of my time in Belfast. The receptionists are so available and kind, they try to help you in everything, like how book your exam… Moreover, the teachers are very professional and the lessons are very interesting. Surely, if you chose International House, you shouldn’t get bored, because there is the perfect balance between grammar concept and learning activities. I really suggest to everyone to start this experience in International House.

My experience at Belfast International House has been the most enjoyable and memorable. I decided to take the C1 Cambridge exam and I can see a big improvement in every single aspect of my English. Staff are genuinely kind and helpful at all times. Either when it's about to recommend you places to go to in Belfast and surroundings or to change the milk of the coffee machine (and more), they're always there. There also are the best teacher you could ever have. They have the patience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals and, what's even more important, to believe in yourself. Of course, by pushing yourself is how you'll see improvements. No one else but you know how far you can get! Finally, the students I found throughout my 8 weeks will never be forgotten. I made friends I never expected to have. I couldn't really summarise my experience in a couple of lines, but joining this academy is the best decision I've ever made. P.S.: they always love to see old students around. So if you're in the city, don't forget to go for a quick visit!

This is the first time that I opt to take a general English course, since I starting teaching English. I have experience at studying at IH schools and when I read the variety of classes and the after class activities they offer I didn't think it twice, and of course it didn't disappoint me a bit. The teachers are excellent professionals who provide the students with a variety of resources to make the classes enjoyable, interesting and motivating. I can guarantee that you’ll learn English and you won't be bored in class. I took note of a lot of teaching ideas ;-). The admin team is very friendly, always with a smile in their face and happy to help you, giving you advice about anything that you might need. They also make sure that every single day you have after class activities to do, thus you can enjoy Belfast and its surroundings as much as you can. The accommodation they provided me was spot on, high quality apartment, very well located, just 5’ from the city centre, not expensive and if you have a special requirement as it was my case, they didn’t hesitate in providing it. We also have an issue with the accommodation during my last day of staying and it really amazed me how quick they solved it and how easy they made it for us. If you want to learn English and have fun, this is the school you’re looking for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I was there in July and August 2022 and honestly it’s the best English learning experience I’ve ever had. Teachers know how to teach their lessons and they give us foreign language learners what we need so that we improve our English idiomatic competence. Had I known this school beforehand, I’d have gone there earlier. My experience was just unbeatable. I’d like to use this space to thank Ryan and Theresa, as they were my teachers, who made me feel incredibly comfortable in class. I’ll always cherish all the experiences I crafted with them and classmates. Javi 👻

I studied here for about 3 months during the pandemic. However, I really enjoyed both online and in-person classes at the time. Also, I strongly recommend IH Belfast which has a wide variety of English courses. It’s such a touching and lovely blend of up-to-date lessons, fun activities, smart teachers, nice staff and a comfortable atmosphere that supports you to study English effectively. :)

The IH Belfast was a great experience. It's the right place for practicing or improving your English. After 6 weeks my English was so much better. Thanks to the teachers! They adjust the programm to your wishes so you can learn what you need the most. Also if you do fast progress, just ask the teachers to join a higher class and you'll be able to study with more advanced students. Beside studying there are a lot of activities provided by the school. There you have the possibility to keep practicing your English with the other students from all over the world and learn more about their culture and meet friends for your life.

I was in Belfast for 10 weeks. I can highly recommend the CAE intensiv class. Because of covid I had a really small class, which I enjoyed. The lessons are diversified and adaptable to the corresponding english level. Thanks to all teachers for the awesome time. Next to the school, Belfast can offer so much to discover. The hole time I stayed in the student roost near the city center, in which you can quickly make contact with locals or exchange students from diffrent universities. All in all I loved the time in Belfast.

I did the CELTA at IH Belfast and it was the best study experience of my life. I loved it so much that I kept trying to sneak in as a classroom observer after the course was over hahah I couldn’t accept the fact that got the certificate and it was time to move on. I wish someday I can have the chance to go back to IH either to study or work. Cozy place, lovely people, very colourful classrooms and located in the university area, with lots of cool pubs, shops and restaurants. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

(Translated) I loved Belfast and the people I met through the Academy. The Organization of this not so much. Every week I had a different teacher since they took weeks of work for the summer so no organization came between them and they gave us repeated or meaningless subjects. For that part I did not like it since I did not feel that it improved at all ... about the great accommodation but after spending three days so that they could give me a clean room. In the end my experience was the people I met thanks (Original) Me encantó Belfast y la gente que conocí gracias a la Academia. La Organización de esta no tanto.. Cada semana tenía diferente profesor ya que tomaban semanas de trabajo para verano así que entre ellos no llegaban ninguna organización y nos daban materias repetidas o sin sentido. Por esa parte no me gustó ya que no sentí que mejore en nada..sobre el alojamiento genial pero después de pasar tres días para que me pudieran dar la habitación limpia . Al final mi experiencia fue la gente que conocí gracias

(Translated) I went through ESL for my language study trip which I did at IH Belfast and it was really memorable! The team is great, the teachers are really competent and there is an animator who offers outings every day. We never get bored, we are really immersed. I really want to go back there, I made some great people and I greatly improved my English. Thanks to the whole team ! (Original) Je suis passée par ESL pour mon séjour linguistique que j'ai réalisé à IH Belfast et c'était vraiment mémorable ! L'équipe est super, les professeurs sont vraiment compétents et il y a un animateur qui propose des sorties tous les jours. On ne s'ennuie jamais, on est vraiment immergé. J'ai vraiment envie d'y retourner, j'ai fais de supers belles rencontres et j'ai grandement améliorer mon anglais. Merci à toute l'équipe !
