Pros

Some of the best reasons to work for the British Council include the huge network of contacts available to you throughout your time on the programme, which ensure you're never alone or unsure- someone is always there to answer your queries and help you along your journey. The British council treat everyone as individuals, you receive care and assistant throughout the process of application, and whilst engaging in the programme.

Cons

Sometimes the British Council are a little late when responding to emails, but that would be the only downside I could name.
