I am very pleased to had this chance to work in this lovely small village. It was an amazing time for me over there. I learned a lot in the kitchen and a lot about myself. I done tasks in the kitchen like the preperation for the starter section, actually cooking with the head Chef on the main section, of course it was a lot of cleaning to do which I knew in advance. I think my English has improved with communication in the kitchen and as well with costumers. I guess I have to be honest about the writing I didn’t improve as well as I could. But I am really proud of myself to stay there for 6 months.
I learned about myself that you have to express yourself to make other people understand. And also that you have to fight for your own. I had an awesome staff by my side, both of the bosses were lovely and friendly and extremely helpful. This Experience will help me lots in the future just in fact that I became more confident about myself because I knew how hard I worked and tried to help other people. My overall conclusion is that the UK is just amazing the people there were lovely and I know now who I am and how I can work.
A big thank you to all people who gave me this chance!Stefanie From Switzerland, English Plus Internship ProgrammeIt exceeded my expectations! Before coming to Margate, I didn’t feel very confident in speaking English. After visit in Margate, I found out I like communicating in English and what is the most important I am not afraid of doing it. The environment encourages you to improve your English.
Neringa From Lithuania, Intensive CourseI will sure recommend this experience to other students because in the centre there are qualified teachers, enjoying lessons, great staff connected to the centre, organized trips in other cities and also a club where students can meet themselves after school.

Opening Hours
We are open from 8:45am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and from 7:45pm to 9:45pm two or three evenings per week, except on National Holidays. During opening hours, students are welcome to use all the school facilities, which include the self-study area, the social club, the internet café and bar, and the table tennis room.
Calendar 2018
EiM is open from Tuesday 2 January to Friday 14 December, but will be closed on the following National Holidays: 30 March and 2 April, 7 and 28 May, 27 August, and 17 December to 1 January 2019. The first day back for students in 2019 will be Wednesday 2 January.
On national holidays there are no classes. Students have the option of joining a teacher-led excursion (transport not included) instead of classes. Any missed individual classes will be taught on another day. When the national holiday is on a Monday, students arriving will have their induction on the Tuesday. However, the above does not apply to our Christmas Break (from 17th December to 1 January 2019), where no trips may be offered as the Centre will be fully closed.
First Day
On arrival, students receive a Welcome Pack as part of English in Margate’s Induction programme. This contains comprehensive information about the school as well as relevant details about the local area, including transport and recreational facilities. During the Induction, students are given both a written and oral test to determine their levels, followed by a tour of the school. After a mid-morning break, during which they have the chance to meet other students, they join classes at 11:30 (in summer this will be an introductory class).
After the first afternoon lesson, there is an orientation tour of Margate and an academic induction to our self-study facilities.
Academic Support
One of the key features of our Academic team is the degree of hands-on support offered to students from the moment they arrive until their departure. This is an ongoing process of communication with all students, including feedback questionnaires at various points during their stay. Students are also welcome to express their opinions to their classroom teacher, particularly if they have concerns over their placement and class level. In addition, fortnightly tests and a system of 1-to-1 tutorials enable us to assess and monitor the progress of all students, ensuring appropriate classroom provision.
For students who wish to add additional elements to their learning programme, our self-study centre, open weekdays from 8:45am to 9:30am, 11am to 11:30am, most of the day from 8:45am to 5:30pm and on two or three evenings from 7:45pm to 9:45pm, offers the ideal practice opportunity, with assistance from staff available whenever necessary.
Welfare
With academic progress being so closely linked to a student’s personal circumstances, we have a strong system of pastoral care in place, based on care and confidentiality. During their stay, students can be sure of finding a sympathetic and helpful member of our Welfare team who will offer the appropriate advice and guidance, with the individual’s best interests in mind.
