This premium course is aimed at learners who come to Ireland for a more intense period of study and want to maximise their progress, while still allowing sufficient time to explore and enjoy Dublin. In addition to our standard General English course, learners will study English for Communication on four afternoons per week. Learners have the time to more fully activate their English, collaborate and communicate using 21st century skills. The EFC course focuses on contemporary themes and real-life tasks allowing learners to draw on their own experience, and that of their fellow classmates, to solve problems and explore areas of common interest. The content on this course is introduced through video, podcasts, blogs etc and includes a dedicated Guided E-Learning platform where course materials can be stored, progress monitored closely, and personalized feedback given, all ensuring more rapid progress is achieved.

The extra 6 one to one hours are based on a comprehensive Needs Analysis which is carried out online with the learner before they arrive in Ireland.

The private element is intentionally not course book based but all course materials are archived to allow the learner access at any time. The combination course syllabus is centrally planned, meaning the learner and teacher can negotiate and build the course as they go.
