What we like about the school
  • Accredited student visa sponsor: Beneficial for course durations > 6 months.
What we dislike about the school
  • Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.

Located in the heart of Scotland's capital, our brand-new Edinburgh English School offers the best of this world-renowned city. Famous for its historic landmarks, old town charm, and cultural diversity, Edinburgh offers a unique blend of historic beauty with a modern cultural touch, making it a fantastic location for all students.

100,000+ happy clients since 1999
The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
