British Council Bogotá Chicó

The British Council’s principal Bogotá teaching centre is on the sixth floor of its Carrera 11A building in Chicó. Students comparing locations around the neighbourhood should check the street carefully. Carrera 11A is the British Council address. This centre is part of a wider Bogotá teaching network, so the course and the physical location are both important when selecting a timetable. The centre also provides teacher development opportunities, including CELTA and DELTA, for people whose aim is to teach English or develop their existing teaching practice.

Age-specific English and examination goals

Chicó serves adults, children and teenagers. Its younger learner programmes are organised for different age groups, while adult teaching can focus on general communication or professional needs. A parent choosing a first English class for a child will want to compare age and level. An adult returning to English after a break may want to identify where listening and speaking now sit in relation to their reading and writing.

The Bogotá centre also appears in the IELTS test-centre directory. Preparation for an exam and registration to sit it are separate parts of planning. A student working towards a particular result can establish which test is required and when it must be taken before deciding how much time to spend in general English or focused preparation.
