El Centro de Inglés Idiomas Bailen is a professional language school dedicated to quality teaching and teacher development, located in Bailen, in the province of Jaen, south-eastern Spain.

THE SCHOOL

The school opened in September 2007.  We teach English to children (from 4 years), teenagers and adults from total beginners to advanced level. We also have business English classes and a large demand for French. A large percentage of our students are young learners. We prepare students for all the Cambridge University ESOL and Trinity College GESE and ISE exams. We are an official Trinity centre.

THE STAFF

At present there are four teachers and a secretary. The directors of the school also teach in the school. We run in-service training and have an on-going teacher support and observation programme which is run in conjunction with El Centro de Inglés Andujar. You will be working with two highly experienced teachers who will provide support and guidance as well as having access to all the wealth of resources in our Andujar school. External teacher training will be funded by the school.
