STUDENT VOICES
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS
Our students’ testimonials speak for us. We Are thrilled to share what our students have to say about their experience with us. Take a look at their testimonials and see why Bridge is the perfect match for your academic pathway.
I really enjoyed learning English with my classmates who were from all over the world. My teacher helped us individually to develop our skills. I think that Bridge programmes are the best to develop English skills. It aims to help all students adapt to the ICL Business programme or university in the future.
My biggest challenges were speaking and listening. I have tried a lot of methods to improve them, but it was not good enough to get good results on a test. I started at Bridge, and in about four weeks, my English-speaking grades had a huge improvement. I found the study atmosphere of Bridge to be very helpful.
