What is the dress code at IH Cape Town?
Smart, casual and clean is what is expected: no suits or ties are necessary (though see also the comments on dress code in our post-course FAQs section). The most important consideration in any context is the students – and the fact that you will be in front of them. Will what you are wearing look clean, comfortable, neat and professional, or will students be looking at your suntan, tattoos and underwear (?!). Please note that during the course, flip-flops, mini-skirts, revealing T-shirts and any clothes that are torn and/or dirty are not acceptable. We don’t wish to seem sexist, but shorts for men are not acceptable either. Clean, tidy jeans on the other hand are fine.
