Where can you have intensive English training?
What our students say
"I took advantage of a career break to use my CPF and do a few dozen hours of intensive English training with six different teachers. They all came from different backgrounds, were very friendly and professional and helped me to gain confidence in myself. The whole Berlitz team was very responsive in getting the training going quickly and scheduling the sessions. I'd definitely recommend it!"
