How To Apply

All students are required to take a Placement (Level) Test, to assess their English language entry level, in advance of registering for any part-time or full-time course. This placement test can be taken in your own country. A speaking test can be arranged using either a webcam or telephone. Pre-registration is essential. To take this test will cost €15. Email: info@langcent.ucc.ie

Placement Testing will take place prior to commencement of courses in addition to every Monday at 6pm for the first few weeks of the course.

Each student will be tested on writing and speaking skills and will have a consultation with teachers on what course would best suit their needs.

  • A full refund will issue in the unlikely event of a class not forming.
  • For full-time programmes, in the event of a visa refusal, on receipt of proof of the refusal, a refund of fees paid, less €250, will be made.
