"A Visit to WISE: A Journey to Wisdom and Knowledge"

Mohammed El Amin Ghoues

Although I visited WISE last december, which only means bitterly cold weather and pitch black sky, I didn't feel any cold as I was warmly welcomed by the host family and WISE Team. By talking about the quality of teaching there, I here refer to my teachers whom I have been conversing with during my training: Dr. Brenden, Dr. Julian, Mr. Chris, not to forget Nina, another vital member who brought happiness and success to Warnborough College. All teachers were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful; they helped me a lot to know who I am and what I am capable of, especially as a non-native speaker of English and as a fresh teacher who has just started delivering knowledge about this vital, universal language. The location of WC is by no means crucial to the success of it and the atmosphere inside the college is conducive to learning where you can find many computers at the learner's disposal for doing any research whether pertinent to the course being taken or not. What's more, the place is lovely and clean, nicely equiped and remodelled to give a vivid impression about this small world yet chock-full of knowledge. It is the teachers' role that makes WC a better place to think about. Unfortunately, I did not enrol on any social or learning activities due to my tight budget but I believe there would have been extra fun and learning if I had had the chance to enrol on any. I can recall the days outside having a look at virtually every corner of beautiful Canterbury with my teachers, enjoying the mediaeval castles and buildings that survived the Blitz. What a historical overview Dr. Julian gave about Canterbury? And how significant business and teaching insights both Dr. Brenden and Mr. chris provided! I finally thank Gill and Mike, the best family I have ever met away from my homeland. I felt cocooned by warmth and love there as if it was my second family. Mass of thanks to this beautiful couple and deep appreciation to WC Team.

Hello Amin,

Thank you very much for such a great review!
We work really hard to offer the best support and service in the best possible environment. We are really happy to see your review.

Keep learning and we hope to see you again soon.

"The time I had with the College makes me think about whether I should spend some work and travel time in Britain."

Patrice Hantke

I didn´t spend so much time in the College, so I can hardly talk about the facilities there. But the stuff I worked with was fine (except the computer in the classroom, okay...).
The teachers were awesome, always kind and polite, helpful, and they had lots of background information.
The location was also okay, it was no problem for me to walk a little bit, furthermore, we had several bus stations and enough possibilities to go shopping.
Our activities were also exciting, we had the chance to see a lot of England's, and especially Canterbury's history. The highlight was the trip to Dover Castle.
The only bad thing was our accommodation. Though it was renovated, the facilities quality weren´t the best, and everything look used. However, it was quite funny to live together with my classmates at the same place.

Hello Patrice,

Thank you for your feedback including about accommodation which I will pass on to the accommodation manager. I was not aware that you were unhappy about the accommodation, as I only received good feedback (written and verbal) while you were here, and also from your group, 11 students and teachers.However, it would be much grateful if you could let us know earlier while you were here, so we could discuss with the accommodation manager and sort out the problem straight away.
Anyway, thank you for letting us know.

Best greetings from WISE English Warnborough College Canterbury

"I would love to come back sometime soon and work with these amazing people again! It was an awesome experience!"

Darja Paschalski

I did an internship with my classmates in the WARNBOROUGH COLLEGE and learned so much about Canterbury and the college. We could do all the important things employees usually do. The staff really trusted us and it was very helpful to find out what I want to do after school.

"Our experience was totally satisfying"

Fantin Anna Maria and Mentesana Liliana

When my friend and I decided to take part in an English course at WISE, we were a little worried as we were not young students but middle aged ones. Unexpectedly though, the morning we arrived at the school, we were warmly welcomed by Nina and Hendrik who immediately made us feel at home. We appreciated the location, the classes, and, in particular, Hendrik's kindness, helpfulness and competence. We also liked the lesson Dr. Nag taught us on the second day, although my friend considered it a little difficult.

In conclusion, our experience at WISE was totally positive and we'd like to do it again in the future.

"It was really helpful for my work and career."

Elena Fadeeva

I completed a 72 hour teacher training programme (Warnborough College, Canterbury). Our group worked with Mihaela Foxley and Jeffrey Ng. The arrangement was really good; we stayed in a good hotel, and had a great excursion programme. We visited London, Cambridge, Dover and the unforgettable excursions with Gillian Cotton and Dr. Julian Ng in Canterbury). Our training programme included lectures, workshops, visiting lessons, giving lessons and giving others activities. Most of all I liked the relationship with the WISE team; from the first days I felt like a friend not a student. I appreciate their work and experience they gave me. Thanks a lot.

jose blanco

In general my experience at WISE was very good. I loved the classes; especially when the class was outside of the classroom. All students paid attention to every detail during the tour of Canterbury. After that we had to fill out a questionnaire describing our experience.

"I would say it was an unforgettable experience; not only because of your country but because of your people"

Oxana

Everything started in December 2013 when our government surprised me with an amazing educational trip to England right before Christmas. I was excited. That trip made such an impact on my life and my future. It was an unforgettable experience that was really worth experiencing and communicating with people who had a different mentality.
Coming back home to Krasnodar I continued living my life, filled with happiness, joy, and great accomplishment in my teaching career. Thank you very much for those 2 fabulous educational weeks.

Tataiana Uradovskaya

I liked our stay at the Holiday Inn Express and our studies at CCCU. Teachers were very polite and experienced. Their classes were not boring and always had something new. It seemed to me that sometimes our activities and our whole schedule were not planned well beforehand.

"Interesting and beneficial."

Annalisa Liva , student from Italy

All things considered, my personal experience was very good. The school is located in a very favorable position and so is the house of my host family, not precisely in the city center, but just a 15 minutes’ walk along the river (lovely in the mornings when it’s sunny!). I was happy with the classes and with the teachers. I had almost all the time one-to-one lessons, which was very intensive and useful and almost always fun! With regard to the after-school activities, there weren’t any, and this was the only negative point. The host family were lovely and attentive and the housing clean and comfortable.

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.

School location

CANTERBURY is one of the top cities that UK and overseas students chose to study in.

It is 55 minutes from London with easy access by High-Speed Train. It is a vibrant and safe student city, with two universities, and several top colleges - and of course WARNBOROUGH COLLEGE - founded in 1973 with 41 years of history and tradition.

Canterbury is an ideal city to live and study in - it offers a wide range of eating places from McDonald's to fine restaurants catering for all tastes. It is good for bargain shopping with designer and boutique shops alongside department stores. Nightlife is vibrant with music venues, student bars, theatres, and cinemas. Of course, there are sporting and gym facilities available; and museums, libraries, and art galleries to enjoy. All within a few minutes from Warnborough College.

Canterbury attracts tourists from all over the world who visit Roman ruins and explore Medieval buildings, and of course the magnificent Cathedral, located in the heart of the city. It is one of England's most famous places of worship, being the home of the English Anglican Communion. Canterbury has been a pilgrim destination for many centuries and famous for Chaucer, Marlowe and of course Thomas Becket.

CANTERBURY IS AMAZING.......
* Walk in the footsteps of Kings, Saints, and Pilgrims,
* Drink in the finest taverns,
* Shop in cobbled alleyways,
* Explore the magical ruins,
* Learn where it all began.

The beauty of Canterbury has to be experienced to be believed. It continues to enthrall visitors, students, and its inhabitants because it succeeds in merging its past with the future.

"I have a prospective student from Italy who would like to study at Embassy English: Canterbury (Junior). The student will already be in Canterbury on other business. The father is wondering if he can start the course then for 2 weeks at your school. Is this possible? If so, since he is 16, would you be able to arrange pick up from where he is staying, to the dorms instead of pick up from the airport?"

Dyan Test, student from USA

Yes this is possible and we can pick him up from where he is staying.
