Due to demand, we have introduced a new evening course at Canterbury for students planning to sit the IELTS academic examination. The next course starts on Thursday 12th October and finishes on Thursday 14th December, with 2 hours tuition each Thursday evening, from 7pm – 9pm, for a total of 10 weeks. Students can then opt to sit the official IELTS examination on Saturday 16th December. For full details, click here.

This summer saw the arrival of the first groups of Chinese students to  our Canterbury and Broadstairs centres and we look forward to welcoming many more Chinese students over the coming year. Feedback from the groups has been excellent and winner of best testimonial received to date goes to Maple Du: “We love the sunny days, the green grass and the blue sea, even the English summer with rain!”

We have now come to the end of a very busy and enjoyable summer of international courses here at Chaucer College.

The Business Course students have had a really busy few weeks with their business project -preparing a business plan, marketing, purchasing, packaging and then selling bags of Japanese mementos to the international students. £50 was raised for Cancer Research and the money has now been donated to the Cancer Research shop in Canterbury. Congratulations to the students for all their hard work.

Japanese students from Chaucer College are making a great impression in the weekly Park Run at the University of Kent. Taking part as either runners or marshals, the students put in great performances week after week. They are even involved in making cakes or biscuits that the runners share at the end of the run. Well done to all.
