Our English for Work and Life course is available at different levels, from A2 to C2. The course is designed to help you to improve in all areas of English language ability, but with a particular focus on the development of oral skills communication for use in a range of real-life situations.

You will work in small friendly groups, and our highly skilled teachers will help you to develop your English quickly while also having fun as you learn and interact with classmates.

We integrate the Connected Curriculum of our University into our lessons. The lesson content covers such diverse areas as employability, sustainability, civic engagement and global reach.

This programme also Includes a free 2-hour communicative class on Wednesday afternoons based on topics related to Irish life and culture.

Classes are from 9 - 1 Monday to Friday.
