The Bristol Language Centre has a fresh new look. Re-named BLC our school is undergoing a complete refurbishment and expansion, to create a school with a capacity of 250 students, from a previous 140. At the same time are re-branding in bold colours to reflect our dynamic, innovative approach to education.

The modern school will be able to offer 18 well-equipped classrooms, many with interactive whiteboards, two state-of-the-art multimedia centres with 24 computers in total, a new canteen and reception area for students and complete redecoration in bright new colours.

The Bristol Language Centre was founded in 2004 and has grown considerably since then, accepting students from all over the world. Founder and Director Seonaid Birkett commented:

“The English language sector is constantly changing and it is important that we evolve and adapt to continue to provide the best experience for our students. As the international language of commerce and diplomacy, the English language is vital to our students’ education and future. By learning English in Bristol, our students bring overseas income into the UK, and contribute directly to local families and businesses. English UK demonstrated that in 2010 the value of the ESL sector to the economy in Bristol was nearly £25m and in the UK as a whole it was 2bn.”
