The study centre, the computer room and the library, as well as the free Wi-Fi, make research work easier, and the beautiful garden, terrace and student lounge allow you to make the most of your breaks.

Sehr faszinierendes Land mit tollen, einzigartigen Landschaften. Die Klassenzimmer waren z.T eher klein und düster. In manchen waren die Schreibablagen sehr klein, so dass mann nicht wirklich gut arbeiten konnte. Die Unterrichtsbücher mussten oft im Schnelldurchgang durchgearbeitet werden (Viele Aufgaben der Bücher waren nicht wirklich ansprechend). Alle 1-3 Wochen gab es ein neues Buch, obwohl das alte meist nicht vollständig durchgearbeitet war. Dies fand ich etwas schade und nicht gerade umweltfreundlich.Gut fand ich die Gruppenarbeiten. Sie förderten sprachliche Kenntnisse, sowie auch den Klassenzusammenhalt. Man lernte jeweils auch sehr viel über andere Länder und Kulturen. Die Famile war sehr offen, liebevoll, nett und Verständnisvoll. Man fühlte sich von der ersten Minute an wilkommen.Die zimmer sind sehr süss eingerichten und weisen alles auf, was man so braucht. Das Essen war supper lecker, frisch, und abwechslungsreich. Es kam ein paar Mal vor, dass die Aktivitäten (nicht direkt von der Schule organisiert) nicht stattfanden, da es nicht genügen Anmeldungen gab. Dies war jedoch nicht so schlimm. Vielen Dank für die gute Beratung.

Testimonials

Fabio Alberto Quintero Escudero

Kaplan International Colleges, Auckland
Duration: 22 weeks

I'm from Bogota, Colombia and I decided to take a course to give my professional life more opportunities abroad. Traveling to New Zealand to improve my English has been the most exciting, rewarding and enjoyable experience of my life. At the begining I couldn’t say no more than a "hello, how are you?” Right now I have an IELTS result of 6.0, I speak fluently and I have a wide vocabulary knowledge, which demonstrate that my trip was fruitful.

Auckland is a city where you can find different recreational plans, such as visiting the Skytower with its beautiful 360 degree view of the city or trying Bungee Jumping from the Auckland Bridge. Also, enjoying a game of Rugby at Eden Park and going to several bars and clubs in the city center where is more amusing to practice the language. Kaplan is an institution committed to the student, attentive at all times and willing to guide you through the academic process, with teachers from around the world. Its infrastructure has two buildings each with cafeteria, computer room and study center where you can find all kinds of tools to practice and improve the language.

The most interesting part is the opportunity to share with people from different cultures, to get to know and live with them is really cool. Besides, you can do strange things that you never thought you would do, and that gives you a different perspective from what you're used to hearing of other countries. Studying at Kaplan-Auckland only involves a risk and that is "wanting to stay." I want to thank ESL for their support before, during and after the trip, without you this dream wouldn’t have come true.

Host family (from 16 years)
Ideal for full immersion in the language, host family accommodation is a very popular option with students. The families are selected with care by our partner school and live around 30-45 minutes away from the course centre by public transport.
