The school is housed in a modern building, central to Dublin, and is within walking distance of links to public transport, several shops, eateries, pubs and sites of interest. Attractions within walking distance of the school include the Hugh Lane Gallery, the Spire, the Ilac shopping centre and more. Blessington Street Park, Mountjoy Square Park, the Garden of Remembrance and the King's Inn Park are all green spaces within a 10-minute walk of the school's front doors.

Course selection: IBAT College supplies many courses for students looking to proceed with further education. The school's language courses include General English, suitable for students of all levels, and Exam Preparation courses (IELTS, Cambridge).

These classes can often include lessons in pronunciation and speaking.

The General English course from IBAT College Dublin is semi-intensive, meaning that you will receive 15 classes every week from their professional teaching staff. This lower number of weekly classes allows students to keep some of their free time for themselves, while also pushing their English skills to the next level.

Class sizes are limited to 15 people per group, so this option would suit those learners who feel comfortable in a medium-sized group setting, where there will be plenty of new faces to meet and practise your English with.

The approach of the school is to mix formal and informal language learning - reading, writing, speaking and listening, with conversation activities in order to reinforce practical skills for everyday situations.

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

The student residence accommodation option is best suited for those students who prefer to live life independently and at their own pace, rather than adapting to a homestay family’s way of life.
This particular option represents the single room arrangement, in which you will have your own private bedroom. The school assures that each apartment is well connected by public transport, so getting to your classes every day will be stress-free.

The kitchens already come fully fitted with all the utensils that you might need; bed linens are provided; WiFi access and energy bills are included in fees.
