I had the pleasure of undertaking the business management course in August 2021. I cannot recommend ESS enough! The activities schedule was structured perfectly, it was a great mix of it being both educational and enjoyable. All the staff are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. I really recommend this great experience to everyone. I feel grateful to have met lifelong friends from all over the world who I still keep in touch with to this day!

I really liked it. The teacher was really good at his job, he could help you no matter what you were trying to illustrate with whatever technique. For me, as someone with absolutely no art experience whatsoever, it was unclear what exactly illustration practice entailed. I had the idea beforehand that it would be more of a drawing course. Nevertheless the course was really valuable: it got me going. The most import thing I learned is probably that you shouldn’t be afraid and just do and try, it will come to you eventually. The course was really helpful. The activities were really nice.
