Studying at Kaplan Manchester was an incredible experience. The teachers were supportive, the classes were engaging, and the international environment gave me the confidence to improve my English every day. I highly recommend Kaplan to anyone looking for a professional and motivating place to learn English.

I recommend anyone to go on an adventure like this, no matter how long it lasts. The teaching staff are excellent, with a variety of methods, and the support team is very attentive. In addition to improving our English level, this school allows us to meet many new people, notably through the various extra-school activities they organize. I recommend Kaplan Manchester to anyone dreaming of a honeymoon-like experience without actually getting married!

Disappointing experience with Kaplan Manchester
Today is my graduation day, but unfortunately, my experience ended on a very unfair note and my money went completely to waste. Before leaving, I requested a placement test to update my level. I took the test and scored well, but management strictly refused to reflect my actual earned level on my graduation certificate.
What makes this even more frustrating is that three of my classmates received B1 certificates, while I was denied—despite performing significantly better. This lack of equality and transparency from management was deeply disappointing. I expected much fairer treatment from an institution like Kaplan

My son had an excellent experience at Kaplan Manchester. I'm very satisfied with everything we arranged. They delivered on everything they promised, and my son came home very grateful to everyone—his teachers and the advisors. It was a great experience for him. Thank you so much, Kaplan International! 100% recommended
