The emphasis is on small class sizes, offering a high quality learning environment.

From day one, we encourage students that English is the only spoken language throughout the whole course — not only inside but also outside the classroom. All lessons are taught by native and highly qualified English teachers, all holding a minimum CELTA certificate in teaching English as a second language.

The English spoken in Kilkenny is accent-free and very easy to understand. Lessons take place in modern classrooms, in a personal and relaxed atmosphere.

Language courses begin every Monday of the year for all language levels. English lessons are 45 minutes in length. In addition to small group and private instruction, we also offer combination courses — and classes can also be held in the afternoon during peak season.
