“Yes, overall I would say good. Although there are a few inadequate points.
The school itself is doing very well, and the director of the school was very committed and courteous. The teachers also do a good job.”

“The school has a very good location in the city centre. The teachers are very good and have a well-organised curriculum. The display boards are very large and can be linked to computers.”
“Due to the central location, the street noise is sometimes unbearable. The seating with the small shelves is not sufficient. Unfortunately, there are no classes for students aged 30 and older. The discipline of some young students was disastrous. The organisation of events by the school is not a hit.”
Insider tip: “You should treat yourself to a historical stroll through the city.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The course was very good, but unfortunately with a lot of young students (18 to 26 years old). The discipline of some young students was catastrophic.
Other comments: I am very happy with EC English, but I would not choose Cambridge again.

“Friendliness of the staff and the teachers”
Other comments: Unfortunately, the promises about the host families were and are not true. The fantasies of the students about typical English families, living as they live, eat what they eat and applying what you have learned when you talk to them, were for me and a lot of other students I talked to very ridiculous. A lot of these families were not English and we as students could speak better English than them. The booked and paid half board could have saved most of us some money.

"The host family was very nice, but five guests and the host family shared a bathroom. There was no common room for breakfast. The family lived in a room right in front of the kitchen. Everything was adequate, but you had to be very willing to compromise.

Questions and answers about EC English
Could your school provide an offer letter that includes the CAS number and sponsor license information to support my visa application for a 4-week short-term student visa?
“We don’t have a CAS number anymore in our UK schools. If you are booking for 4 weeks, you only need a standard visitor visa, not a CAS.”
Suzanne Unus, Sales Manager from EC English, Cambridge - Aug 15, 2025
How much time does it take from the host family to the school?
“On average the distance is 40 minutes by public transport as some of the families do not live in central Cambridge. In the registration form you can indicate your wish to live as close to the school as possible. Those who book early have a good chance of finding a nice family as close as possible to the school. You will receive detailed information about the accommodation no later than 1-2 weeks before arrival.”

There are few places we associate more with academic learning than Cambridge, and the General English course from EC English only contributes to that. When you’re not busy enjoying this historic university town’s architecture and scenery, you’ll be taking 20 classes per week (for a total of 15 hours.)
The course uses the tried and tested approach of working on the four pillars of language skills: Reading, Speaking, Writing and Listening. You’ll make friends from different parts of the world as soon as you start, giving you language practice partners to spend time with outside of class time in this charming English city.
The class sizes have an average of 10 participants, and a maximum of 15. This setting will put you in a dynamic environment where you'll meet many new people to speak and improve your English with.
