Several of our long term students here in Quito are relocating to Bogot� for work reasons. They've asked me to help them find a good place in Bogota to continue their studies.

I'm not looking to establish any kind of business relationship with a Bogot� school, but if any of you have the names and contact details of schools you know to be professional and reputable, I'd like to pass them on to the students.

Best,
Justin

Are they gazillionaires? If so, I could suggest a very reputable place.... Wink

International House has just set up in the old part of Bogota, which should be a bit more affordable than that other place.. There is also the Centro Colombo Americano, but I've only heard bad things about their methodology. There's also the usual swag of Berlitz, Wall Street and small operations.

Cheers,
Lozwich.

Thanks Loz,

Could you PM the contact for the billionaire place? They aren't, but they're employed by a major company which has a history of not knowing how much training should cost. Which hasn't been a problem, from my point of view Wink

You'd enjoy them, by the way.

Best,

Justin

I agree with Lozwich, you-ll probably be better off going with a chain for their reputation.

The British Council is the most reputable language academy in Bogota. I have heard bad rumours about IH - although nothing first hand.
