BUSINESS & SOCIAL PROGRAMME

At Active English Academy, we believe that it is essential for our learners to experience, understand and appreciate life in Great Britain, both in a social and business context, to maximise the benefits of the courses on offer.

We offer a number of varied activities, which change regularly and which you can book during your stay with us, enabling you to choose the programme most suited to you. Here are some examples of what you can do whilst staying with us:

Executive Programme
We are probably one of the only schools to offer regular company visits to our students, enabling them to experience first hand how British companies work. We have developed a strong relationship with many companies from various professional sectors (manufacturing, textiles, travel, law, transport, etc.).

Some companies are based in the vibrant city of Manchester but many are based outside where there is still a strong manufacturing tradition. This enables our learners to come into contact with various working environments.

Enjoy Manchester
The second city in the UK, Manchester has kept its strong industrial heritage, whilst embracing the 21st century, and has become a dramatic mix of old and new. The people of Manchester have always had a strong reputation for being friendly and easy-going. Step into one of the many traditional pubs, bars and cafés and you will soon make new friends. With its cosmopolitan atmosphere, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to eating.

If it is culture you’re looking for, there are many museums, theatres and cinemas to choose from… Manchester is, of course, famous for being one of the world’s most exciting and original places for both making music and going to listen to it…

As for shopping, with its growing, vibrant shopping centre, you will find everything you want and more… from the most stylish of department stores to the quirky, so typically British boutique…

And let’s not forget our famous football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City!!! Certainly worth a visit!

Active English Academy organises excursions and regular outings to help you find your bearings and settle in quickly. Most of the events are accompanied by our own staff.

Trips Outside Manchester
The joy of studying in Manchester is also being able to enjoy all that is around it… We operate a programme of excursions to ensure you explore life outside a city centre and discover the more traditional British way of life…

With easy access to the beautiful countryside of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and rural Lancashire, the historic cities of York and Chester, and let’s not forget Cheshire and its wonderful stately homes… Ideal for a relaxing day out away from the stress of a busy city!
