Aston Academy - previously MovingOn Courses

Expectations fullfilled... and even more

Before deciding which English course to choose, I had read the comments posted by previous students who visited MovingonCourses Academy. Furthermore, I have personal feedback from a friend who also visited the academy last year… and, after staying one week there I could check that all of them were truth! The course is really 100% in English; you do not speak a single word in your native language except when phoning home. The atmosphere between students and between students and staff was always friendly; indeed, I had the opportunity to meet great people with which I had fun and also received their support during a couple of days in which my health was not 100% fine. I found out perfectly balanced the time allocated to classes and evening activities, thus having time both for improving grammar and syntax, as well as conversation and listening. Besides the classes, the teachers accompanied us to visit relevant places both in Bangor and Belfast, as well to a movie, bingo, pubs and a concert of Red Hot Chilli PIPERS!!. So you were at all time with your brain working in English. I would like to thank Gavin, Sonia, Chris and Karen for their effort to make the week I stayed at the Academy really worthwhile.

Great experience for fair price

Friendly and professional teachers, interesting study trips, fantastic home-made meals, comfortable accomodation. I highly value small classes - teachers tailor the lessons to your needs. Study trips were well prepared, always interesting, ending in a cosy café where we discussed what we had learnt.:) Students were different nationalities, age (24-65) and proffessions - it was great to meet interesting people! Teachers actually available 12 hrs a day (hats off, Karen, for your effort!!) Sonia, our host, is a really great cook - I will never forget her Irish stew :). Comfortable rooms and all facilities (washing mashine etc.). I felt very welcome. Thank you, Sonia and Gavin, for your hospitality, you do a great job!!

Two weeks 100% English pays off!

Good experience! Two weeks complete English immersion done and now I´m much more confident with my English! All teachers were great, and I was able to have both group classes as well as one-to-one classes. And the classes were just one part of the English immersion - I didn´t manage to escape English from lunch, dinner, study trips, other activities

Thank you very much, dear Sonia and Gavin!

If you want to improve your English in a full immersion course at the cost of just an hotel accommodation, with MovingOn Courses you can. We enjoyed two weeks in an all inclusive formula Stay and Learn, having a comfortable bedroom ensuite. We had intensive sessions daily with five different professional teachers. There are study trips (by car) almost every day to interesting places around Bangor and near Belfast (which is about 30 mins by car o train). There is a friendly atmosphere during classes, lunches and dinner prepared by the kind and super efficient Sonia. During the stay, you have to speak always in English with colleagues and teachers and you might interact with people living there, with teacher beside. After two fantastic weeks we are now really more confident with English, we learned a lot of new words and idioms. Definitely, we had a stimulating summer time!

A great experience

I’m a 18-years-old girl and I spent 2 weeks in the MovingOn course.
At first I was a little bit worried about the course because I thought that i wasn’t in the right place because of my age; but at least i enjoyed a lot this 2 weeks.
We always stayed together like a family with the other hosts and teachers doing a lot of activities.The rule that was everything in English was very useful because was the best way to improve quickly.
The lessons were very interesting and we had always the opportunity to speak and express ourselves without problems.
If you want to learn English this course is the best you can find! If you are 18 or 81 it doesn’t matter because Sonia Gavin and the others will always make you feel welcome and part of a big family!
Great experience!
Thank you

Great course, fantastic experience!!!

I spent 2 months in this course and it was fantastic! My english improved a lot and now I feel relly confident with my speaking, my listening and my writing. Teachers taught me lot of things related to my intrests and to what could be useful to me. In my opinion living with the teachers in an immersive english environment made the difference from the other courses I attended. In addition, the atmosphere is lovely and soon, after my arrival, I started feeling like being home. The only bad side is that you will miss the course after it will be finished.
