Review about ILSC Language school in Toronto
Strong school (I took a business English course here, all current knowledge, teachers are young and highly qualified).
When choosing and booking, I liked the variety of courses at the school. There are options for every taste. Smapse managers helped to collect all documents, everything went without delay (Smapse ordered the translation from the agents and assured the notary - this option seemed to me optimal for "price-time and nerve costs").
The whole group is young professionals from different areas, but most of all, as expected, financiers and commercial trade employees. It was easy to talk with teachers, that with group mates: all adults that have already taken place, goals and hobbies are similar, as is the level of development. It was very interesting to discuss how things are going in different countries: my company works on the international market, so I got first-hand information from people who are constantly “cooking” in a business boiler, for example, in Italy. I would like to highlight the location in Toronto: it was very pleasant to walk around the city, walk around the pubs, I spent some time shopping: a bright, lively city without intrusive migrants. Everything was very lively and at the same time calm, there was a feeling of security .
