Best place

The school was great, the teachers were friendly and with the best disposition to help you in anything you need.

the classes were funny and with actual topics to make everything easier, that make you feel like you are having just a casual conversation and not in a classroom.

They have all sort of activities for the students, you can go to Pub crawl, or have a nice barbecue in the roof or even go to the theater all organized by the school and the amazing staff of social program.

The facilities are nice, although perhaps it would be better to have bigger classrooms, but there are smart boards in every single one.
One of the best parts was the cafeteria, the food was delicious and the staff is super friendly and nice with the new ones.
Definitely one of the best places to be and learn.
@coursefinders thanks for the opportunity of share my experience.
