School description

Accord Manchester’s specialist English courses take place at Brook House in Manchester. Brook House is a beautiful, traditional English building situated in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city centre with all its amenities. It has an international atmosphere and is home to many international companies. We focus on providing General English and Business English language courses to give you the best tools to communicate effectively. Our British Council accredited school is the perfect place in which you can learn and improve your English skills quickly in a friendly environment. Our English courses and study programmes are aimed at adult students who are all motivated, keen to improve their language skills, learn about the British culture and find out about each other. Accord Manchester welcomes many different nationalities, mostly European. We make sure that we never have a predominant nationality to guarantee that our students have access to a variety of cultures and learn about studying and working in a multi-cultural environment. All our teachers are qualified and experienced in teaching General English and Business English. Most have taught English abroad and/or have worked in the business world. Our school also gives our students the opportunity to work for British companies and truly experience the workings of an international business. In the current economic climate, our English and Paid Work Placement Programme proves very popular with our European students. Our class sizes are small, which gives our students every opportunity to participate and develop their skills. Whether it is a General English or a Business English course, our teachers focus on our students’ specific requirements, whether it is to pass the IELTS exam to attend a British university, further their international careers or develop their language skills to cater for their job, etc. Our staff are always available to help our students with any queries they may have, whether it be finding the best pub in Manchester or giving details of how best to get to historical York. During break times, students can visit the “Student Corner” to check their emails on the computer or look at what’s on in Manchester. Free wi-fi access is available to all our students throughout the school. We always do our best to make students feel comfortable with us at Accord and in Manchester throughout their stay.
