accommodation

Choosing the right accommodation is essential for students to have a positive experience in a new country. We offer a choice between two city centre residences and host family accommodation. Depending on the individual student’s needs we are confident that one of our options will be a great fit for you. Whether you decide to experience being part of an Irish family life for a few weeks or rather be more independent and centrally located, we can help you find what you need.

wHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

"Training here for the Trinity Cert TESOL was as good a preparation for teaching as one could possibly hope for, because of the exceptional professionalism of the trainers and their interest in getting the trainees to the highest standard of teaching possible."

Aodhán O Riain, IRELAND
"I’ve spent almost 3 months in the school and I can proudly say it’s been one of the best experiences of my life. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The teachers are the best: Martin and Caroline were able to make every lesson different from the other, keeping them enjoyable and interesting every single day. I would recommend this experience to everyone: you will surely improve your English and make many new true friends."
