“Very intensive English course”
PROS
It's a very reputable and expensive school. The good points are: - Offers an intensive in-person class + homework including introducing you to good books to read. - As an immigrant myself, looking to adapt to the North American culture, study and work in my field (Marketing & Communications) in Canada, this course was excellent! I've learned not only the way to communicate to them (oral/written) but also the necessary leadership skills to do it effectively. - Thanks to this course I felt confident to develop the several writings to the Graduate Diploma in the same University. - It is a nice place to build a good international network, considering you'll meet high level people from all around the world.

CONS
- Some teachers could be more creative to teach in class and less "Victorian" - The classes are usually small, I believe no more than 10-15 students per class but mine was super full, with 20+ people. The good point was to meet more people.

Highlight a teacher
The Administration were complicated - The language sector could be more organized and accessible to give students' good information. You're dealing with a registration in a language you want to learn, right? So it already makes the process more difficult to you. It was a very stressful moment for me considering their professionals were not always in the same page in regards to the information. Some of them seemed a little lost, giving incomplete information. Another negative point is, something that unfortunately is still common to happen in Canadians companies: when a professional goes on vacation, his/her work/sector stops in the company - I mean, nobody else covers it! You must comeback only when "they come back from vacation" to have your information or process start or continue. If you are an immigrant, you'll feel it like a joke but it is more common than you think in Canada.
