"While preparing for IELTS, I really enjoyed my time at Bath Academy. The teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks to the course, I achieved the IELTS score I was aiming at and got admitted to the university I had applied to. In addition, staff were extremely helpful when it came to submitting the UCAS application. All in all, the Academy was an excellent opportunity to make good friends from all over the world, and an excellent location from which to start exploring the magnificent and picturesque city of Bath!"
