★★★★★ 5 / 5

One of the best experiences of my life. I improved my English level in just two months; the teachers are of a very high standard, they correct you, help you, and guide you through the process.

During my first week, I was promoted to a higher level where they tested me, and then in my sixth week, I moved up again. The system is really good because teachers promote you step by step so that you don’t feel frustrated.

I stayed for a week and I regret not having stayed longer. The staff in general is very friendly, always smiling and attentive. I really liked the importance they place on the mental health of students who stay for long periods, their understanding and attention. The teachers are wonderful! Wiktoria Drazewska, Gillian Cotter, and John Byrne, from Higher Intermediate, were super kind, assertive, patient, and flexible. The academy activities were great because you practice a lot of English and end up with a sore jaw from talking so much. There are so many nationalities, and English is what unites you. It was a pleasant experience. I hope to return soon and spend a few more weeks improving my English. I loved the city of Dublin. Its people, its pubs, its streets, its weather... everything was beautiful!

I took an English class at Kaplan language school for 4 weeks to prepare for an advanced Cambridge exam (C1). The staff is very supportive and competent. There are social events and the students come from many different countries so it's also quite and opportunity to make international connections. The teaching is good and I felt well prepared for my exam, but that really depends on the teacher you get. I can only recommend to go to Aoife's class. On the other hand, classes can occasionally be a bit too crowded and some students do not fit the proclaimed course level. To face that issue prior tests should be more selective. Furthermore, a second water dispenser could cut down waiting times in the breaks.
The school itself offers, beside the classrooms, a selflearning room with computers and a lobby where you can play chess or the guitar. The school's location is great. It's right in the city center, so you're surrounded by restaurants and a lot of pubs for the time after school. 😁

For the month I was there, I paid 1447 € in total for the advanced classes (3h every weekday) and the intesive classes (1,5h every weekday).

★★★★ 4 / 5

I was able to live a unique experience on the Dublin campus and greatly improve my English in 6 months (A2 -> C1). The most enriching part was the numerous encounters I had with students from all over the world. My advice would be to come to the school in the "low season" because the campus is not very big and the classes are quickly full. The big plus is the school is located in the heart of Dublin and the staff and teachers are great. I was lucky to find a very welcoming host family, which made my stay very pleasant. In any case, Ireland is a beautiful country to visit!

It was amazing!! I was only able to stay for a week but I would recommend staying longer if you can afford it. The staff is great, especially the teachers who manage to make everyone feel welcome, and the small classes allow for a great opportunity to speak and exchange between students. Thank you!!
