Learn English at the British Council
We offer a variety of English courses for adults and young learners, including more specific courses for English for work and exam preparation. We also offer primary storytelling and secondary literature courses for our young learners during the school holidays.
The British Council is the UK’s official cultural relations organisation that delivers hundreds of projects in the areas of education, arts, science, sport and governance. We are a world leader in English language teaching and have been providing high quality English course in Mauritius for more than five years.
You will learn and improve your English more quickly by studying with a group of people who are at your level. You will study on a structured course with clear and achievable goals and you will know how you are progressing because you will be monitored and counselled by your teacher. You will get plenty of opportunity to use English in realistic situations allowing you to communicate accurately and fluently with other speakers of English in the real world.
Our placement testing procedure takes about 1 hour in total. It allows us to determine your ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing in English. With this information we are able to recommend classes which will be of an appropriate level to allow you to maximise your language development. The placement test is Rs 300 per person.
