Our experience is the key to your success
THE COMPLETE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Academic Team
Our teachers are selected for their high level of qualifications, experience and motivation. They are
university graduates who are qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language. They have the
experience and expertise needed to ensure that courses are productive and tailored to your
individual needs, your interests and your objectives. The quality of the teaching team is maintained
through ongoing professional development under the guidance of our dedicated academic
management team. We organise regular in-house training workshops and provide financial support
for teachers to pursue external training courses.
First Day of your Course
On the first morning, your level and needs are extensively assessed. The different components of
the test allow us to establish your current level of English.
After your test, our orientation and introduction session gives you practical advice on studying with
us and living in Cork. The session provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions you may
have about your stay. We also inform you about our exciting social and cultural programme and
encourage you to participate in order to maximise your learning experience. The Cork Language
Centre International information guide helps you to make the most of your stay.
After the orientation session, you are informed of your level and join an appropriate class with
students of similar English language ability.
On Monday afternoon, there is a walking tour of Cork to familiarise you with your new
surroundings.
Language Counselling
You receive invaluable guidance on learning and communication skills during your language
counselling sessions. You can ask for advice on overall language development and request extra
work in any area of language. Your counsellor provides advice on independent learning techniques
and can help you to select a suitable examination.
Certificate of Achievement
On completing a course, you receive a Cork Language Centre International certificate which states
the level you have achieved and the length of your course.
