BRETS English Academy is at Metro Pillar No. 366, Nelson Mandela Street, Koonamthai, Edapally, Kochi — 682024, Kerala. It is at Metro Pillar No. 366 on Nelson Mandela Street in Koonamthai, Edapally, opposite Redtape, about five minutes from Edapally Junction and directly served by the Kochi Metro. Call +91 97451 20343 for directions. ### What is the TPR method and why does BRETS teach with it? TPR, or Total Physical Response, is a language teaching method developed by Dr. James J. Asher at San José State University in the 1960s. Learners answer English instructions with a physical action instead of a translation, which is how a first language is acquired. BRETS teaches with TPR because it produces speech from the first hour and because recall from action-linked learning is stronger than from passive listening — which is the whole problem with how spoken English is usually taught in Kerala. ### How long does it take to speak English fluently at BRETS? The online Spoken English course runs 40 days. Campus programmes in Kochi run from three days for Business English to a month for the trainer certificate, and the one-week accent course is the shortest fluency-facing programme. Fluency depends on starting level and practice hours, so BRETS assesses speaking at enrolment and sets the course length from that rather than selling a fixed number to everybody. ### Does BRETS offer free IELTS practice tests? Yes. A complete IELTS Academic mock test and practice sets in all four modules — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — are free at langvr.com/ielts, the group’s practice platform, with instant band estimates and explanations for every answer. Premium sets are ₹99 a module or ₹999 for everything, and they are free for enrolled BRETS and LangVR IELTS students. ### Is BRETS only for beginners, or also for working professionals? Both. Junior English and Accent Training for Kids are for school-age learners, the online Spoken English course is built for people with a job, and Business English is a three-day intensive for working professionals and business owners. BRETS also trains staff inside companies and teachers inside schools through its BEAS programme. ### What does BRETS cost? Fees depend on the course, its length and whether it runs online or at the Kochi campus, so BRETS quotes per programme rather than publishing one price. Message +91 97451 20343 on WhatsApp with the course you want and you get the current fee, the next batch date and the seat count in that batch. ### Does BRETS train English teachers as well as learners? Yes. The B-CET Communicative English Trainer course is a one-month certificate for people who want to teach English professionally, and the BEAS programme trains teaching staff inside schools — including 230+ teachers at Ansar English School in Thrissur. Both are TEFL/TESOL-aligned and built on the same TPR method the academy teaches with. ## Key pages - Home: https://bretsenglish.com/ - Courses: https://bretsenglish.com/courses - Free IELTS practice: https://bretsenglish.com/free-ielts-practice - Teacher training: https://bretsenglish.com/teacher-training - Contact and directions: https://bretsenglish.com/contact ## For programs: structured access, no key required - MCP server (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0): https://bretsenglish.com/api/mcp - MCP manifest: https://bretsenglish.com/.well-known/mcp.json - REST, same tools: https://bretsenglish.com/api/ai/? - OpenAPI 3.1: https://bretsenglish.com/openapi.json - Documentation: https://bretsenglish.com/ai - AI usage policy: https://bretsenglish.com/ai.txt - Short version of this file: https://bretsenglish.com/llms.txt - Sitemap: https://bretsenglish.com/sitemap.xml Tools: - get_organization — Identity, address, contact details, opening hours and service area for BRETS English Academy.
