Short language studyAn SSP is needed (a permit, not a visa)
Short language study needs a Special Study Permit (SSP) from the Bureau of Immigration. An SSP is a permit, not a visa; it is issued to foreign nationals under 18 and/or taking non-degree courses.
Course-level details (whether a study permit or student visa applies, DLI or CRICOS registration, post-study work visas) are still being checked.
Level test and orientation on Monday, classes from Tuesday, 1 week minimum
CIP English is a language school in Angeles City in the Clark area. It opened in 2007. The campus has been remodeled since 2022, so the classrooms and dorms are new. There is a swimming pool on campus.
Its hallmark is Filipino and native-speaker teachers working together. The school highlights one-on-one classes with native speakers at a relatively low price. Classes are 50 minutes with a 10-minute break in between. Regular ESL centers on four one-on-one classes and two small-group classes with native teachers.
The school checks grades and levels every week and shares the results with students. Since 2023, class areas have been separated by level. There are score-guarantee courses for IELTS and TOEIC.
The dorms are a 1–3 minute walk from the school, with rooms for one to four people. Three meals a day are included in the price. Laundry is twice a week, free up to 5 kg. The curfew is 10 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Sparta courses do not allow going out from Monday to Thursday.
It suits people who want plenty of exposure to native pronunciation, and those who want to track their progress with weekly checks. People who want to enjoy nights out may find the rules strict. Drinking is not allowed on campus.
General courses start from age 16. Children aged 5 to 15 can study with a parent or guardian. The website is in English only, so use the Philippines Study Desk for questions in Japanese.
