Choosing an institute is both a financial and educational decision. Before transferring any payment, confirm the institute fits your goal — not just its name on an ad.
The Seven Criteria
- Accreditation and reputation — Is the institute recognized locally? What is its track record with Arab students?
- Program type — Conversation, IELTS, Business English, or family program?
- Class intensity — 4, 6, or 8 sessions daily? Each suits a different learner.
- Environment — Lively city campus (Academy) or intensive closed campus (Sparta)?
- Housing and meals — On-campus or off? Are meals included?
- Cancellation policy — Written and clear? What happens if your visa is delayed?
- Post-arrival support — Airport pickup? Arabic-speaking coordinator?
Taa wa Seen tip: Do not compare institutes on price alone. A cheaper option can cost more if it does not match how you learn.
Questions to Ask Any Agency
If you do not get clear answers, pause. Ask about Arab student ratios, average stay duration, and the latest 2026 pricing.
