What our Students Say
My experience at International House Belfast has been the most enjoyable and memorable. I decided to take the C1 Cambridge exam and I can see a big improvement in every single aspect of my English. Staff are genuinely kind and helpful at all times.
There also are the best teachers you could ever have. They have the patience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals and, what's even more important, to believe in yourself... joining this academy is the best decision I've ever made.
I have been to many English schools in Ireland and International House Belfast is the best! Everything is so professional. The people in Belfast are friendly and you can travel to the beach or mountains easily. The classes and the teachers at IHB are amazing!
We stayed for a short time, but it was enough to perceive the excellence of learning at the school, the teachers are all wonderful, the classes are very rich sources of learning. We love it and recommend it to everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the English language.
I can’t imagine attempting to teach ESL without the CELTA training. Thank you for how you truly gave of yourselves and helped us through the difficult periods.
All the teachers and reception staff were fantastic.
I've met a lot of friends at IH Belfast, and the classes were so much fun. It was an absolutely lovely time.
I’m grateful to everyone there.
I enjoyed every single minute that I spent in Belfast, and especially the school! I was preparing for the Cambridge Proficiency Exam and my teachers were able to teach me a lot of really interesting things. They made sure that I was able to pass my exam! The whole atmosphere at the school is wonderful too. We weren’t that many students in our class and because of that we were really able to get to know each other pretty well. The teachers were also able to really focus on the students individually!
Overall it was just a wonderful experience studying at International House Belfast!
I did the CELTA at IH Belfast and it was the best study experience of my life. I loved it so much that I wish someday I can have the chance to go back to IH either to study or work. Cozy place, lovely people, very colourful classrooms and located in the university area, with lots of cool pubs, shops and restaurants. I’d give 10 stars if I could!
The staff here are all excellent! If you are considering doing a CELTA, this place is ideal!
I work in media and broadcasting in Turkey. I booked an Intensive Plus course – English plus media and journalism. I studied at IH Belfast for 26 weeks and had an amazing experience. The course far exceeded mine and my company’s expectations!
Belfast is amazing – the city, the parks, the school, the accommodation… all amazing! Thank you very much for the hospitality!
It was every bit as good as I expected. It lived up to and exceeded my expectations. The teachers I had in IH Belfast are the best I’ve ever had.
