“The allocation to the right class was a bit hectic and confusing.”

“I really liked the course times. Tues. - Thurs. longer, but shorter on Mon. and Fri.”
“The class size was sometimes too big, so that the teachers could only selectively attend to the participants (listen / correct). If the participants are supposed to communicate with each other, this is not wrong per se, but if no one in the know is listening, it is only useful to a limited extent.”

“It was a great experience with very motivated teachers, which were able to encourage you. Grammar, Conversation practice and everything else was well explained and there was always time for questions. I would book it again.”
“Just little things :-) maybe the technical equipment and the furniture could be better. But for me, for two weeks it was fine. So I can recommend the whole school and probably I´ll book it again before I´m going to have my certificate.”
Insider tip: “The Trinity College, The little Irish Museum, Howth and the coast anyway because the beaches in Ireland are really gorgeous. Regarding to the school, there are social programmes available, take part and get in contact to other students if you like.”

“The organization and the staff, always available for everything.”
Insider tip: “I apply to those who intend to register for the IELTS Preparation afternoon course. I joined for two and a half months but from my point of view a month of preparation is enough and progresses, because after a while it began to be repetitive, and the last few weeks were getting really heavy and I was thinking of having thrown away money unnecessarily . Personally, therefore, I was a bit disappointed by the afternoon course, also because during the exam I also found things that I did not know, so the preparation course was not even completely useful, but in any case without the preparation course I would not have been absolutely able to take the exam. In conclusion: I recommend it undoubtedly, but not for too long. A month is enough, after it begins to be a huge waste of money and a waste of time.”

“I liked the teachers and their skills in teaching, but I can't say I'm fully satisfied about my experience because in this period they've gone to holidays and I changed teachers a lot of times. In my opinion, in this way I couldn't improve very well my English. The teachers are very friendly and patients with the students but I disagree about this organization of the school.”

Student reviews about HeyDay Residence Carmans Hall
Merit
"I would have liked to have some kind of voluntary food drop-off. If you're not there for long, it's often not worth buying a whole pack of food. So a place where you can get food for free or for a small "pocket money" price (but kept really small), the money then goes to the people who make sure to check the expiry date once a week. You can only give the food away there and not sell it. However, I think young students in particular, who perhaps also work part-time, would be happy to receive a packet of pasta at a low price if another student has given it away. It's a lot of trust involved, but I think it would help with some things. Just like the kitchen equipment, I would have liked the scales and towels to be available so that you don't have to take care of them yourself. Otherwise the house itself was really good :)
Estelle
"The rooms were unfortunately not really clean on arrival. Dusty shelves etc., there was still a sock from the previous guest on the shelf and there was foreign hair everywhere (especially in the bed, but also on the floor, in the shower etc.). Very distasteful. The insulation was relatively good, so you hardly heard anything in the room from the noise in the kitchen (where the other students often drank together late at night etc.). Only conversations in the corridor outside the rooms were clearly audible. However, these were within reasonable limits.
Questions and answers about Centre of English Studies (CES)
I need an airport transfert, can I arrive during the night?
“Usually, the school is asking to the students to arrive between 8:00 and 22:00. Outside these hours, it is not always possible to find a driver.”
Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 05, 2023
I would like to know if the accommodation in residence is in a single room with private bathroom.
“The rooms in the residence are single with private bathroom.”
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 04, 2023
Would it be possible to book the junior course for my 14-year-old son without accommodation? What would be the price?
“The seasonal junior programmes at CES can be booked without accommodation at discounted rates. The exact cost of the course depends on the number of lessons the student would like per week and whether the student would like to take part in activities and excursions, etc. ”
Fraser Provan , LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 28, 2022
I am a vegetarian. Is it possible to have vegetarian food in the host family?
“It is no problem to get also vegetarian food. There is a surcharge of 30€ per week for the special diet. ”

My son is 17 but he will turn 18 in September. Would it be an issue when booking accommodation?
“Your son will still be under 18 during his stay in Dublin so the accommodation option for him would be a room at a homestay”
Gosia Mazur, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
I am looking for a 3-week language course in Dublin for my 17.5-year-old son. His level is intermediate. I don't want him to stay with a family. Can the CES school offer courses and accommodation?
“The maximum required age for junior courses is 17 years. He can book the intensive or standard English course. These are adult mixed-age classes. Students under the age of 18 years have to book homestay accommodation. ”
Angela, Consultant from Languagecourse.net - Mar 09, 2023

More information about Dublin including climate data and events on our Dublin page with a list of all 57 English schools in Dublin.
The Standard General English course is the most in-demand course that CES offers their students, mainly due to offering an ideal weekly commitment of 20 hours of lessons that guarantees participants’ steady progression over the weeks and months - all without taking up too much of your time. Each lesson lasts for 55 minutes at their Dublin location, which is the longest that CES provides.
You can expect your morning classes to be delivered by two different teachers. Grammar and accuracy are usually worked on separately from their more conversation-oriented lessons, as their priority is to make sure that students are able to use grammar structures accurately before putting them to use.
There are a total of 7 level groups that you may be assigned to, ranging from Beginner all the way up to Proficiency.
