About IP
What do we do?
Every year we bring together more than 4.000 students from all over the world in several European destinations to learn English, French, Spanish, or German.
With 25 years’ experience, we have gained an unrivalled insight into what students want from their language courses. Our international language centres provide proficient language learning at different levels based on an innovative learning curriculum. This enables you to build up both your knowledge and your confidence in an international environment.
We run our own summer schools in Great Britain, France, Germany, and Spain where we offer summer courses for juniors and language programmes for families. We also run a year-round English language school in Bournemouth and cooperate with other selected language schools all over Europe to offer a wide choice of language courses for kids, teens and adults.
We strongly believe that we can offer you the right combination of destination, language course and accommodation to suit your needs and your budget.
We are accredited by DIN, the German Institute for Standardization, to meet the European Standards for Language Study Tour Providers, EN14804.
We set up this website to provide you with detailed information on each of our course centres. You can book courses directly or contact us. We will be happy to advise you on the best option to suit your requirements.
We look forward to welcoming you to our international language institute!
