ECS Scotland is a family-run English language training centre based in Edinburgh. We have been successfully providing professional English language courses to adults for 20 years, 1995 - 2015. Our General English courses have a maximum of 5 students per group and focus on speaking and listening communication skills. Small group General English classes can be combined with 1-to-1 classes focusing on on your line of work; business, marketing, law, finance, medicine, tourism, history, environmental science. Our tailor-made courses can adapt to your needs. All courses include an afternoon excursion to a place of cultural interest inside or outside of Edinburgh. Tea and coffee is provided during break times so clients can talk to each other and practise socialising informally in English. Accommodation is available in executive homestay which means you live with a local host but you have the privacy of a private bedroom and bathroom. We recommend staying with a local host as it gives your the best opportunity to speak English and socialise outside the classroom. Our hosts are used to hosting mature guests and have worked with us for many years. If you prefer to stay in a hotel, guest house or B&B, we can recommend suitable accommodation. Companies wishing to send 5 clients or more per year to learn professional English skills at ECS Scotland, should contact us directly to discuss discounts for low season courses.
