Why Cape Town
A city that keeps teaching after class ends.
Cape Town runs in English. The taxi driver, the barista and the person beside you on the beach all expect you to speak it, and you will not find anyone among them who speaks Arabic to help you out.
It is also one hour from Gulf time, nine hours from Riyadh and a fraction of the cost of London.
1 hr
Just a one-hour time difference from the Gulf, without losing a week to adjustment.
9 hrs
direct flying time from Riyadh
11
Official languages, English is the primary language of work.
52
Weeks in the year, You can start studying in any week of the year (every Monday).

For parents
Away from home does not mean out of reach
The questions a parent asks are not the questions a student asks.
Who will be responsible for following up with my son?
A named adviser supports him from the first call until he returns home safely.
How do we keep track of his academic progress?
We monitor attendance and progress, and keep you ahead of questions with regular updates.
What if he faces a problem?
A dedicated local number provides support in Arabic and English around the clock for the student and his family.
Will the accommodation details be clear before travel?
We choose accommodation close to the institute, with access to transport and essential facilities, and suited to the student’s needs.
Frequently asked
Questions, grouped by what you are deciding
How is my level decided?
