CCEL Christchurch

Fantastic experience: 職員がみんな親切。学校内で英語しか話してはいけないルールも良かった。

Fantastic experience: I was an EAP 2 student at CCEL. Based on my personal experience, CCEL is a good place for students to gain eligibility to enrol in UC courses. It also helped me improve my English proficiency. All the staff I met at CCEL were very nice, friendly, and supportive. My teacher, Murphy, is a responsible and dedicated teacher, and I benefited a lot from his teaching.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for making me feel like home away from home. Thank you for the knowledge that CCEL gave to me. Thank you all the staff and teachers, that takes good care of me. See you in the future. I love CCEL.

Negative experience: EAP2 is a useless and boring course. ChatGPT plus is better than studying here. The poor teaching quality at CCEL has made me seriously question the teaching standards at UC. The whole course is composed of practices after teaching some worthless techniques that you can get anywhere and never-ending exams. I don’t even understand what the point of some of these formalistic assessments is. waste my time and money.

Negative experience: Not Worth the Time or Money. I want to share my honest experience at CCEL Christchurch. Some teachers here are kind and helpful (especially middle grade classes), but not all. In lower-level classes, some teachers don’t teach grammar properly and just let students talk without structure. In higher-level classes like EAP2, some teachers follow their own style and don’t care much about the curriculum. This kind of problem can happen in many English schools, so I understand. But the worst part is the management. The Academic manager or Centre manager is very disrespectful to students. He don’t listen or try to help at all. The ladies at the front desk are also not helpful. Sometime even rude. They don’t take responsibility when students ask for support and just ignore you. If you read the low star reviews here, I have to say they are all true. Nothing has improved from the the years past. So, if you don’t want to waste your time, money, and energy, I recommend finding another school. Because of this terrible experience, I left New Zealand and moved to Australia. Plus, don't trust your agency for connecting you with CCEL, as either they don't care as well or they already know but walk away with commission.
