About the School

IH Riviera Maya is in a purpose built location, with a central courtyard with its very own juice bar! Inside you are in a quiet oasis, sheltered from the hustle and bustle outside.

The neighbourhood is very safe, and the weather is warm and sunny all year long. We are in one of the best neighbourhoods in the town of Playa del Carmen near downtown, shopping malls and good restaurants and we are only 3 blocks away from the beach! This is a typical caribbean resort with beautiful white sandy beaches and tempting clear warm waters.

All the staff at the school do what they can to welcome all students and trainees, and make their stay as enjoyable as possible.

Life in and around Riviera Maya

Playa del Carmen is a marvellous Mexican Caribbean resort just 60km south of Cancún. It has a dazzling white sandy beach, turquoise sea, and a huge range of bars and restaurants. While here, trainees can take part in a range of activities, including: visiting Cozumel island and snorkelling to observe the starfish in their own environment; sky-diving and jet-skiing; scuba-diving in different locations; swimming with sharks in deep crystalline waters; Xcaret natural park; Xel-ha amusement park; Tulum ruins and snorkelling to enjoy the beauty of sea turtles; visiting Chichen-Itza to learn about the Mayan history and enjoy the beauty of one of the seven modern wonders.

Studying at IH Riviera Maya

Flying to Riviera Maya means Cancun Airport then a direct bus ride of about an hour. As a large holiday destination, there are direct flights to Cancun from practically any city in the US, Canada, and several in the rest of Latin America, as well as from many European cities (e.g. Madrid, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon, etc.).

(IH Riviera Maya also offers transportation to our guests at the school residence to and from the airport.)

Getting around Playa del Carmen is easy thanks to the mix of local and public transport. There are city buses all over the city, with a stop just a five minute walk from the school. There are also the Colectivos, a minibus public transport service all over the Riviera Maya area. You can take shuttles to cities nearby and use the two ADO Bus stations (several routes).

The nearest places around the school to get some lunch or a coffee are Starbucks, A-cacao, Chez Celine, Bisquets Obregon, Bio-Natural, La senda Vegana and Sushi-ken, all five minutes’ walk away. The closest (within five blocks) supermarkets to the school and residences are Plaza fiesta alegría, Walmart, Mega Soriana and Super aki.

We have our very own purpose built student residence, just a 5 minute walk from the school. There are communal areas and kitchens, where you can relax with other students from around the world – or you can rest and work in your own room.

Sylwia

Bydgoszcz’s architecture is beautiful and eye-catching with magnificent historical buildings. We have a theatre, philharmonic, opera and cinemas.

At IH Cairo the staff and teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They assist students through each stage of the program. I love coming to IH Cairo because I always feel welcomed and excited for class.

Matthew C

I have to admit that my expectations before coming to IH Cairo were quite low. I was totally shocked by the quality of the organization and the preparation of the teachers. I was completely surprised at the increased recognition of IH Cairo among international students.

Peter G.

It was great to stay in the Akcent IH Prague accommodation. Living with other people form the course meant we could help each other with lesson plans in the evenings but we were also able to hang out together socially.

H. Hamill

I was thoroughly engaged and highly stimulated intellectually by this course. Everything about the course, from the tutors to the facilities, was top-notch. I left with a feeling of immense satisfaction due to the challenges faced and overcome while on the course. I left also with knowledge that will act as a steadfast foundation for my future career. The course has set me up on track to pursue a rewarding and valuable career by giving me the toolkit that I will need to do this. By taking this course I have also discovered the path that I will need to stay on if I wish to make my dream of becoming a good teacher a reality.

Cherry

I really appreciate what I learned from all the trainers and peers on the course. I did both the CELTA course and CYLT course at IH Bangkok, after which I couldn’t even believe myself for being professional in teaching in almost all aspects. Once I step into the classroom, I know what I should do with my lesson materials, I aim to achieve in my lesson, I can do better for next lessons. Thanks to all the tutors who helped us and gave all their best during the courses.

Preeti

The CELTA course I took over the summer was run online, and being online did not take away from the excellence of the course. The course encourages teachers to teach real students in a student centred way, thus making the experience very authentic. All in all, it is very intense but well worth the money spent.

Sofia Caprarulo

It was both challenging and informative. The course gave me the opportunity to learn many new ideas and strategies, to develop and improve my teaching, and connect with wonderful teachers from around the world.

Maria M

As a CELTA graduate, I can tell you that the course at IH Rome Accademia Britannica is the best professional decision that you could make. It will fundamentally change your approach to the classroom forever. You will encounter supportive tutors and experienced mentors that will help you unlock all your teaching potential. Together with other eager trainees you will learn how to manage the classroom successfully, engage with students effectively and to take with you all that you need.

Paola B

I simply loved the CELTA Online with IH Rome and my great and professional tutors, Flo and Chris: they were supportive, providing constructive, accurate and punctual feedback for each of our activities. It was a challenging and yet unforgettable experience.
