English As A Foreign Language

Christiane Kaufmann

Celia Risueno is a First Certificate student on the EFL course. As an international student she says the College offers her more choices:

"Harrow College is great. The teachers are outstanding, they get their ideas across very well and as a result all students seem to understand the work.

"I was learning English in Spain, however, studying in Harrow is much more rewarding and I get the opportunity to speak English in my daily life. I come from Palma De Mallorca which gets lots of tourists and I would like to communicate with them."

Celia Risueno, First Certificate EFL Student

Students from the EU/EAA and rest of the world study English in our EFL centre.

Our EFL centre is English UK and British Council accredited and we were successfully inspected in November 2007. We offer part-time classes at six ability levels as well as intensive courses. We are a centre for Cambridge exams and teachers are also examiners. We have been training EFL teachers for more than twenty years.
