"Wasa bad experience, bad accommodation"

Francisco Gaspar, student from Angola

I didn't like everything. The school didn’t have good teachers, the class was not motivating, and the accommodation was very bad. I left before I finish my 26-week course without certificate. The school did not look for another accommodation which was a waste of my money. It was a bad experience.

"I had a memorable stay in Pretoria"

ELZA CHAPBOU FOMO

I enjoyed the VIP classroom with air-con. The teachers were very friendly. The school was close to public transport. Students have free access to internet, and Wi-Fi. We had outings every month to a new touristic site.
