The school is located in a very nice area,
situated on the District Line on the tube, so
there is direct access here. It is a wonderful
area, I feel calm and relaxed here and it’s
not as expensive as the city centre.

Our courses in CanterburyImmersion Courses in Professional English andCommunication SkillsIn 1991 we founded Canterbury Language Training (CLT), a boutique centreoffering immersion courses, just one hour from London but providing a verydifferent, very English location.
CLT creates a unique, personal environment for business and professional clients.A maximum of 25 participants at any time guarantees individual attention.Careful preparation, based on the information you provide and pre-course Skypeinterviews, means that your training will be fully tailored to your needs. The CLTexperience is fully integrated: training, lunches and evening activities withtrainers, combined with executive homestay or hotel accommodation, create anall-day immersion programme.
The focus of the training is practical communication skills which you can useimmediately in your work. You will meet like-minded people from diversecountries, companies and institutions. Communicating across cultural boundarieswill be a key part of your training.
Courses in Canterbury can be combined with courses in London – our DualCentre Programmes – with the benefit of different stimuli but guaranteedcontinuity in training.
About CanterburyCanterbury is a beautiful, historic town, dominated by the magnificentgothic Cathedral. The city dates from pre-Roman times and has threeUNESCO World Heritage Sites, a magnificent new theatre, museums, artgalleries, traditional pubs and international restaurants.
It lies in an area of green countryside and unspoilt villages where manyof our homestay hosts live. Canterbury is surrounded by the sea on threesides, with interesting towns, famous golf courses, beaches and thehistoric white cliffs of Dover all within easy reach.
London is only an hour away by high speed train, and Paris 2 hoursby Eurostar.
