Student opinions about Kaplan International Languages, Dublin

Liked
The school is very well organised. There is also a very good programme of activities for every budget. The teachers are very committed and the lessons are interesting. I thought it was great that the lessons were held with two different teachers.
Disliked
The classrooms were very small or the class was too big. But I think that the classes are usually not that big.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss No, everything was perfect.
