Olesya Morozova is a 26 year old student from Russia

I have been a resident of Cardiff for nearly 4 years, during which time I have explored the city and I hope at least some of what it has to offer such as the city's big beautiful parks.

Arriving in Cardiff, I soon realised that my command of the English language was not suitable. I started looking for English courses and through the internet found Cardiff College International. I took their English course and later decided I needed something more. I graduated from the Institute of Economics in Russia a few years prior and this impacted my choice to take the Association of Accounting Technicians course, Foundation level. I am happy to be involved with this course as it was a dream of both my parents and I for me to study abroad, learning the English language and obtaining an education. I have found the course teachers very professional and knowledgeable. My finance teacher is both informative and fun. This said her classes are at times both hard and disciplined but understandable. Throughout my time at the college all the staff have been very kind and helpful. I would thank all the personnel involved in my education and would not hesitate in recommending the Cardiff College International to other prospective students.

I am 27 years old and come from Iran. I have just finished my studies at Cardiff College International. I choose this college because one of my friends recommended it to me and I recommend this college to others as well. Teachers and staff in the college are very nice and friendly. I have made some friends from all over the world. The college has a learning centre for students which is near the city centre. Cardiff is a very nice city and people are very kind and friendly. I am glad I did my studies at this wonderful college.

Yuval Salomi is a 23 year old student from Israel

Hi my name is Yuval and I'm from Israel. I'm taking the AAT course as well as IT and English. Since I have started this year in Cardiff College International I have experienced excellent teaching and learning resources. In the college there is a great emphasis on creating a supportive learning environment and I'm absolutely enjoying myself. I have made a lot of friends from different countries which has exposed me to a diverse range of cultures and to an international environment.

Cardiff is a lovely and welcoming city and the college is perfectly located as it's only a few minutes walking from the city centre, there are a lot of places to explore and the night life has something to suit everyone.

Kazhal Shamsaddin is an AAT student from Iraq

I have been studying in Cardiff College International for more than two years. On my first year I followed a General English course and now am studying Intermediate AAT. I would like to recommend the college to any prospective students especially the English course. I had a year full of success, experience and fun as well as the support of the staff in the college specially my teachers in the English course and International Office staff.

At the beginning I felt lost and lonely. That is the feeling most students think about before they go to study abroad, but in CCI you will never have this feeling, this is why I think it is the best, they will simply be the family you left in your country. If you enjoy interesting things such as having friends from all around the world, extending your knowledge of different cultures, learning with different teaching methods, having access to the newest technology and facilities, planning for the future, living with lovely people in a nice city, stop thinking about it and come to CCI in Cardiff.

Jackie Adams is a Liberian A- Level student

With the support I receive from the college staff, transitioning into college; from another country, was fortunately not as challenging as expected. All I had to do was to show up in the office and there was always someone available to help, from applying for a course to finding accommodation, the college took care of it all.

"Transforming lives by placing learners first" is exactly what Cardiff College International is doing, by providing as much support as possible; dedicated tutors, the learning centre, the moodle site and much more.

The College has impacted me in a positive way, that I am even considering staying in Cardiff for University after completing my A levels.

Catherine Nartey is a student from Ghana

Catherine studied the International Foundation Programme in Access to Business and Law. ‘ I chose to study at CCI in Wales because of its excellent reputation in offering a wide range of academic programmes leading towards rewarding careers.The college enjoys a modern working environment, at both the Parade and Trowbridge campus. Classrooms, workshops, laboratories and design studios are well equipped. I can now say from personal experience and also from the view held by my lecturers that I am well equipped to meet the challenges in further academic pursuits and the real world. To this end, I would therefore not hesitate to recommend such an institution to anyone whether young or mature willing to improve upon his or her skills. The international office staff also play a very unique role in ensuring that students are enrolled properly and are given the necessary advice on many issues related to their courses and finance. I really enjoyed the IFP Business and Law course and am grateful to the management and staff of Cardiff College International for giving me the opportunity to sharpen my skills in this field of study.' Catherine is currently in the second year of LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology & Criminal Justice at University of Glamorgan.
