I met excellent teachers. They used very good methods to help with language learning. If I can, I will come back one day. I returned home with lifelong memories, I had a lot of experiences. I got to know interesting people.
Everyone was very nice and patient.

I felt very comfortable in this language school. Small class sizes, different levels, very friendly and open-minded teachers. The teachers rotate so that I also had the pleasure of being taught by different teachers. Everyone has their own methods and approach. I not only learned English there, but also a lot about the country and its people and this has not been limited to Ireland. The classes are mixed differently: different backgrounds, different cultures, different mother tongues. Through the group work, you have the opportunity to learn about all these, to get into conversation and make friends at the same time.
The school itself offers various leisure activities and additional hours. Bus tours can also be booked and paid for at the school.

The teachers are really good
I had a host family too far from the school. More than 4 km. No flexibility from the school if you need start or finish in the middle of the week you have to pay the whole week

Teachers MARTIN & EVANS - these two are the best.
Martin, my afternoon teacher, is one of the most talented, I have no words to describe him. I never saw or met someone so sensible and close to the students. The way he interacts is really amazing!! I hope next year when I return for my IELTS course, he can still be there.

The small class size. I attended classes in February/March and the average class size was about five or six students, especially the classes in the afternoon were characterized by a very small amount of students taking part in the class.

The historic building. Location. Friendly staff.
Facilities (including PCs) are not very new though, there is free WiFi in the school. So, you don't have any problems, if you take your device with you. The school organises the excursions and the activities. There are many popular bars and restaurants around the school. The school staff gives you the information

The location
I enrolled for the 2-week CLIL course starting the 11th of July and you sent me to a teachers' refresher course the first day. The 2nd day I asked for a change and you sent me to a CLIL closed group that had started the previous week. The following week new students arrived and the teacher more or less started again with the lessons. My teacher Julie is an excellent teacher, very professional and well prepared, but because of all these changes I felt I had not taken advantage of this course and in my case it´s not worth the money I paid. I have been taking teacher training courses for ten years, and this is by far the worst of them. For the money I paid I was really expecting a good social program and more choices of learning activities in the afternoon.

Course: Teacher Refresher (ERASMUS+) - 2 weeks
Student age: 56 years
Everyone was very laid back and friendly which created a pleasant atmosphere.
WLAN (or WiFi) was unfortunately only partially usable. The lunch break between morning and afternoon sessions was quite long at 75 minutes.

I liked the good atmosphere and the good teachers, as well as the fact that everybody at the school was very friendly.
I had an afternoon class and the second week I did not speak much because two people distracted the class.

However, most of these programmes end the last week of July, or the first week of August. If you can't move your travel dates, we have an ultra-comprehensive programme, "Study and Live in Your Teacher's Home", which allows you to organize both your course and activities more freely, where you study and live in your teacher's home for rapid and complete language progress.
