English courses in Dublin
with CES

Morning classes focused on IELTS preparation: students learn the key tasks and topic areas of the test, get used to its format and practise test-taking strategies within the time limits.

Each week one part of an IELTS exam is taken under exam conditions, with feedback from the teachers. The afternoons are left for the social programme, and the exam itself can be booked at one of the school's test centres.

Built around the tasks and topics that come up in the IELTS test, this course trains all four parts — listening, reading, writing and speaking — with exam techniques and timed practice. At the end of each week students sit one part of an IELTS exam under exam conditions.

Teachers give ongoing feedback throughout. Students can sit the real test afterwards at one of the school's test centres, so they can study and take the exam in the same place.

Preparation for the Cambridge B2 First (FCE), the certificate that schools, colleges and employers recognise as proof of an upper-intermediate level of English. Depending on the campus, the course is full-time exam preparation or combines General English in the mornings with focused exam practice in the afternoons.

Exams are held several times a year and the course is planned to finish the week before the chosen exam. Students can book the exam at one of the school's test centres, or the school helps find a centre nearby.

Preparation for the Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE), the certificate that demonstrates an advanced level of English to universities and employers. Depending on the campus, the course is full-time exam preparation or combines General English in the mornings with focused exam practice in the afternoons.

The course is planned to end just before the chosen exam session. Students can book the exam at one of the school's test centres, or the school helps find a centre nearby.

A Study and Work programme designed for Ireland, with ILEP-accredited morning classes and a flexible timetable. It follows the same General English approach, with students placed by level and building the four skills week after week.

The programme is built around part-time work alongside study, and regular attendance is required to remain eligible to work and to extend the visa. It is mainly chosen by non-EU students who want to improve their English while working part-time.

The afternoon version of the Study and Work programme in Ireland, with ILEP-accredited General English classes after the morning. It keeps mornings free for work and gives a more economical option.

Students are placed by level and follow the same course structure as the morning classes, with a minimum attendance required to remain eligible to work and to extend the visa. Classes may have a less varied mix of nationalities.

A course for young adults that combines morning English classes, with a particular emphasis on speaking and listening, with an afternoon programme of sports, activities and cultural visits. Role-plays, project work and task-based activities develop communication skills.

A level test is held on the first school day, and students receive an end-of-course certificate and report. Each group has a dedicated member of staff, and young adults can also join the school's wider social and cultural programme.

Professional development courses for teachers and education professionals, eligible for Erasmus+ funding, running over one or two weeks. They are practical and up to date, with a strong emphasis on cooperation and peer learning alongside colleagues from across Europe.

Participants receive a needs analysis and optional reading before arrival, so the content can be matched to their own teaching needs and professional goals. Afternoons are free for the social programme.

General English in the mornings, combined with specialised Business English in the afternoons. The business strand covers areas such as meetings and negotiations, presentations, and written and spoken communication for work.

Designed for intermediate students (B1–B2) who want to improve the English they use at work. This course runs in set periods of the year that vary by campus, rather than every Monday.
