Facilities and equipment at Kaplan Language School Torquay
The language school is located in Torquay, in a small and cozy coastal town that combines the charm of an English harbor with a Mediterranean resort. A solar microclimate has settled here, because the weather differs significantly from that typical of Britain. The comfortable climate allows you to soak up the beach and try out water sports. In addition, there are many attractions, for example, the house of Agatha Christie and the romantic pier of the Princess. The training center is a 5-minute walk from the city center and has excellent infrastructure: a picturesque campus with a pool, a cafe and sea views.
