About the School

IH Santiago de Compostela – El Centro Britanico is a well-established and prestigious English language academy located in Santiago de Compostela, a beautiful part of Galicia, Spain.

We started teaching English in 1979 in the centre of Santiago, and later expanded to the nearby suburbs of Milladoiro and Bertamiráns. The team of about 35 teachers and staff deliver teacher training, language clases, exams, and summer camps.

With academic experience built up over forty years, and a dedication to introducing innovative pedagogical techniques, we are proud that our teachers create such good rapport with all their students and enjoy a very positive learning environment.

We believe our location, experience as an English Language institution, employment opportunities, and our passion for teacher training makes us a great choice for a CELTA course.

Life in and around Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is rapidly growing in popularity with both tourists and prospective employees, owing to its appeal as a vibrant student city and its surrounding landscapes. If you walk the Camino, you will be heading for Santiago!

Santiago de Compostela is an excellent choice for the CELTA candidate as it provides affordable living costs, as well as very attractive advantages, such as: a rich cultural offering, world famous cuisine and wine, UNESCO world heritage site and one of Spain’s oldest universities.

You can visit the well-known Costa da Morte, passing by Fisterra or staring at the setting sun in Rías Baixas (southern coast of Galicia); visiting cosmopolitan cities such as Vigo or A Coruña, tasting Barack Obama’s favourite wines in Ribeira Sacra or enjoying a thermal bath as an ancient Roman… all of them could be the perfect plan to have at the weekend.

Studying at IH Santiago de Compostela

Santiago is the biggest city in the north west of Spain, and is very well served by fast trains connecting to major Spanish cities. There is a small international airport which is expanding its connections.

To get to the school, both the train station and some bus stops are less than a five-minute walk away. For those who would prefer to drive, there is a car park in front of the centre.

Galician gastronomy is getting a name for itself, and we think its the best in Spain! From our melt in mouth octopus to Queixo de Tetilla cheese (named because it is reminiscent of a small breast!), we have some truly unique local dishes. The school is surrounded by plenty of places where you can taste our delicious food. It’s also practical living here, and the school is next to local supermarkets such as Gadis and Carrefour.

We will help students find suitable accommodation, either in a shared flat, individual flat, or inn/hotel. The cost of a shared flat is from €200 per week.

Voices from the IH community

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.
