Kaplan International Languages Manchester

Kaplan International Languages Manchester is located at 1 Portland Street in central Manchester. The school is part of the wider Kaplan International Languages network, which as of 2026 operates under Inspirit Capital following the acquisition of the brand from Kaplan, Inc., with the Kaplan International Languages name used under a transitional licence.

English on Portland Street

The English course portfolio spans general to specialised study goals. Standard, semi-intensive and intensive General English courses cover the full CEFR range, providing options for students who prefer a more relaxed schedule alongside those targeting rapid progression. Dedicated exam preparation programmes are available for IELTS, TOEFL iBT and Cambridge Assessment English qualifications. Business English Intensive courses cater to professionals seeking work-focused language development, and an Academic Year Abroad option provides a structured longer-stay pathway.

The campus's central Portland Street address places it within easy reach of Manchester's main transport interchanges, including Piccadilly Gardens and the Metrolink tram network.

Choosing between the semi-intensive and intensive options affects how much of the week is spent on scheduled learning. That difference matters to someone living outside Manchester and making a regular trip into Piccadilly Gardens.
